I watched Northfork tonight. I didn’t think it was possible for a movie to be visually beautiful, boring, and confusing all at once. I was wrong. I don’t think there was a contiguous three minutes in which I had any clue what was going on in this film. There seemed to be some parallel between the evacuation of a town because it was going to be flooded by a new dam, and the dreams of a dying child who imagined he was an angel whose wings were amputated. I suppose I could have put more effort into trying to understand it, but I suspect it’s not worth the effort.
