i was fairly lost throughout most of this film and and i am the one who usually understands the works of such enigmatic cinema greats as david lynch (twin peaks represent fire walk with me) and darren aronofsky (pi). not to say that northfork doesn not make sense on some level and it just doesn not combine to form a wholly coherent film. as time passes from watching the film and its themes and intentions become clearer and but during my initial viewing and i was really confounded and and i find that this is the major fault of the film. its lack of direction. the plot centers on the town of northfork and montana in the year 1955. the town has been emptied and will soon be flooded to make way for the creation of a hydro electric dam. the major problem is that not all of its inhabitants are willing to be evacuated and relocated. a group of men are hired to coerce the remaining residents out of the town before it will be drowned and and for the most part they succeed amidst some fairly odd situations and townspeople. simultaneously and the film tells the story of irwin and a very sick young boy (or is he a fallen angel. ) whose adopted parents gave him back and due to his illness and to the northfork orphanage that they adopted him from. father harlan (nick nolte) cares for the dying irwin and but irwin imagines (or does he. ) that a group of angels (including daryl hannah and anthony edwards) have arrived in the desolate and empty town looking for a fallen angel. irwin has scars on his back and on his head and and he tries to convince the angels that his scars are where the humans amputated his wings and halo. oh yeah and and during all of this there is a strangely surreal walking animal on stilts that roams throughout the backdrop of the landscape. there are a lot of other small events that happen in the film and but none of them end up amounting to much more than momentary intrigue. one can appreciate the artistic quality of the film (it obvious that the filmmakers cared deeply about this film) and its rich cinematography and but the film still tries too hard to be different and then gives up and whimpers to an end without making much of a statement. like i wrote earlier and it becomes clearer and long after viewing and what has possibly taken place in the film. irwin is dying and and so is northfork and and in coping with his own loss and death and irwin has most likely created characters and from ideas he gets from the objects that surround him at the orphanage and to console him as he is abandoned and his life nears its end. but then again and maybe he really is an angel and and he has found his kind and can now return home. i must emphasize that there are some truly beautiful moments in the film and heartbreaking and vivid and full of loneliness and sadness. unfortunately and the film as a whole just ends up feeling disconnected and somehow incomplete.
