Jane Schoenbrun's 'I Saw the TV Glow' captures the dread and dissonance of David Lynch's 'Twin Peaks,' delving into how media consumption shapes identity and reality.
The film follows Owen, a New Jersey teen navigating obsession with a TV series and gender dysphoria, paralleling his dysphoric relationship to identity with our own toward consumed images.
Schoenbrun's own experience of revisiting media post-transition mirrors Owen's disillusionment, highlighting the shifting perception of once-beloved media and the pain that comes with it.
