Northfork (2003)
Country: US
Technical: Technicolor/scope 103m
Director: Michael Polish
Cast: Peter Coyote, Anthony Edwards, Duel Farnes, Daryl Hannah, Nick Nolte, James Woods
Synopsis:
In Montana in the 50s a community is being moved to make way for a hydroelectric project and four 'evacs' arrive to try and clear out the last die-hard inhabitants before the floods come. Meanwhile angels and devils fight over a sickening boy's soul.
Review:
Visually striking, with a palette of greys and some impressive production design, this is also dramatically wayward, with a succession of lapidary scenes failing to add up to a satisfactory whole. The surreal humour and poetic symbolism make uneasy bedfellows and the thing gets bogged down in its own whimsical allusiveness.
