feast for sore eyes
just an alternative that comes to mind and is a bit more colloquial
1 hr
will serve up ample recognisable material for true David Lynch fans
a bit of embellishment, but I think this is more or less what the text is trying to get across

interestingly enough, the expression \'feast of recognition\' DOES appear to exist, though most of the hits are English-language Dutch sites.........if so, an alternative translation could be: will be/promises to be a feast of recognition for David Lynch fans/aficionados, etc.
