Tideland / Canada/UK / 2005

Terry Gilliam’s painfully beautiful portrait of Jeliza-Rose, a girl orphaned by drugs in the sweeping grassy void of Saskatchewan, Tideland is either a magnificent depiction of and by an imagination both rampant and therapeutic, or the dullest, most overdrawn Rockwell-on-acid adaptation of Alice in Wonderland ever. My inclination lies somewhere in the middle, as the overdose of wide-angle shots left me reeling with delight but ultimately yearning for something more substantial in plot, which could have easily made a great short film. Nonetheless, I was genuinely creeped out by fleeting images of a demonic stalking shadow, the severed heads of dolls fluttering in a hollowed-out chest, and Jeff Bridges’ Noah presented to us as a tanned postmortem husk.
