Tideland

After Jeliza-Rose’s mother dies of a heroin overdose, her rock star father takes her out to the country and then himself OD’s, she is left on her own, wandering the great planes, with her dolls as her companions… After an extraordinary career that began with Brazil and moved toward the mainstream (with titles like The Fisher King and Twelve Monkeys) – Terry Gilliam delves deep into his cinematic language and once again walks the thin line between innocence and horror – the same dark territories that fairy tales come from. He nearly gives up on the plot and treats this emotional work almost entirely through the atmosphere. His rich world of images, the landscapes in which he sets the plot, and the virtuosity with which he combines the child-like and the grown-up – all turn Tideland into a strange and uncompromising work.
