Hi
Finally caught up with the Arrow Blu Ray. The film is a revelation in this format. Incandescent beauty collapses into the deepest darkest, claustrophobia textures.
I never got the chance to see Tideland on the big screen and find I return to it less often the Gilliam’s other films.
When I do reacquaint myself it always seems like a completely different film to the one I remember and it really packed a punch this time round.
I found the film more moving and disturbing than ever before.
The film may hinge on a child’s ever-shifting perspective on the unresolved relationship between the light and dark of this world but it is filtered with a unique order of stoic poetry which may have turned into depressing cynicism in more prosaic hands.
A flower born of horror.
