Rent Northfork (2003)

Like a bad Terry Gilliam film. - Northfork review by CP Customer

Set in the small town of Northfork Montana, where the town is now deserted to make way for a hydro-electric dam. A small group men enter the town as part of an evacuation team to remove the final few townsfolk who have failed to leave before the land is due to be flooded. The film follows the parallel stories of inhabitants refusing to leave a dying town and a dying boy, abandoned by his parents to the care of the local priest. While the idea behind the film is fairly good the execution is poor, with clichéd direction, dull acting and surreal dreamlike scenes which come of as pretentious and laughable. Overall, Northfork is a strange and often painfully dull experience, like a really bad mix of Terry Gilliam and David Lynch. Those in to arthouse films and early Lynch movies may like it, otherwise it's worth giving a miss!
