Tideland (2005)

Tideland: Directed by Terry Gilliam. With Jodelle Ferland, Janet McTeer, Brendan Fletcher, Jennifer Tilly. Because of the actions of her irresponsible parents, a young girl is left alone on a decrepit country estate and survives inside her fantastic imagination.

“When the dysfunctional Queen Gunhilda (Jennifer Tilly) dies of overdose, her daughter Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland) travels with her addicted father Noah (Jeff Bridges) to the old and abandoned house of Noahu0026#39;s mother in the country. While her father takes u0026quot;a vacationu0026quot; injecting drugs, Jeliza-Rose lives a world of fantasy with her heads of doll Sateen Lips, Glitter Gal, Mustique and Baby Blonde. Noah dies in his trip, and Jeliza-Rose meets the insane Dell (Janet McTeer) and her retarded brother Dickens (Brendan Fletcher), spending most of the time together.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI do not know whether Terry Gilliam was in an acid trip when he wrote the dark, bizarre and insane u0026quot;Tidelandu0026quot;, but it is one of the craziest movies I have ever seen. However, I liked the originality of the story. I could never guess the insanity of the next scene of this unpredictable film. I was also very impressed with the maturity and performance of Jodelle Ferland in her difficult lead work. This little girl is the story, and it is amazing and impressive, for example, the sequences with Jeliza-Rose preparing the dope of her father. The nightmarish atmosphere and the music score complete this original and unique journey to the irrational world of Terry Gilliam. My vote is seven.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;Contrapontou0026quot; (u0026quot;Counterpointu0026quot;)”
