When her mother dies of an overdose, a little girl leaves home to go live at a run-down old farmhouse with her father, a former rock star and notorious drug addict. To escape her bleak existence, the child slips into an imaginary world peopled by strangers. Terry Gilliam’s dark fairy tale contemplates childhood through the lens of his fascination with the wondrous as well as with horror and death. Tideland is an often-overlooked masterpiece in the filmmaker’s repertoire.
