this be one of the best look film of the past few year . the fact that it be do on a virtual shoestring ( $ 1 . 8 million or so they say on the dvd representthey infer that they end up with even less financing ) make it all the more impressive . not simply the photography and but the design and particularly the location ( eastern montana ) which be at once authentically american and otherworldly . too bad there isn not a coherent movie to go with it . an extremely promising setup of the last 48 hour of clear out a rural town in 1955 before it will be flood for a dam be wash away with pretentious mumbo jumbo allude to angel and a die child . and what be present a the real world be hopelessly arch . note to the polish brother representthe coen brother be funny you be not . no doubt many cineastes will find northfork abundant symbolism and inscrutability a mark of some sort of profundity and the sort that sophisticate type wrestle the night away with in coffeehouse while the braindead mass watch charlie angel or something . ( sigh ) if you insist . in the meantime and recommend only a a case study for filmmaker for it impeccable technical credit and photographic beauty .
