However, Lynch clashed with the ABC Network on
several matters, particularly whether or not to reveal Laura
Palmer's killer. The network insisted that the revelation be made
during the second season but Lynch wanted the mystery to last as
long as the series. Lynch soon became disenchanted with the series,
and, as a result, many cast members complained of feeling
abandoned. Later he stated that he and Frost had never intended to
ever reveal the identity of Laura's killer, that ABC forced him to
reveal the culprit prematurely, and that agreeing to do so is one
of his biggest professional regrets.[21] Twin Peaks suffered a
severe ratings drop and was canceled in 1991. Still, Lynch scripted
a prequel to the series about the last seven days in the life of
Laura Palmer.
Meanwhile, whilst Twin Peaks was in production, the Brooklyn
Academy of Music asked Lynch and Badalementi to create a theatrical
piece which would only be performed twice at their academy in New
York City in 1989 as a part of the New Music America Festival. The
result was Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream of the Broken
Hearted, which starred such frequent Lynch collaborators as Laura
Dern, Nicolas Cage and Michael J. Anderson as well as containing
five songs sung by Julee Cruise. David Lynch produced a 50-minute
video of the performance in 1990.[22] Following this, Lynch
returned to making feature films, after his friend, Monty
Montgomery offered him the chance to adapt Barry Gifford's novel,
Wild at Heart: The Story of Sailor and Lula into a film. Lynch
agreed, with the result being Wild at Heart, a crime and road movie
starring Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern. Despite receiving a muted
response from American critics and viewers, it won the Palme d'Or
at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival.[4]
