NEW YORK, NY (By
Amber Haeckel/ Rykodisc Publicity) - On Tuesday, October 10, Ryko Filmworks will release the "Tideland Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" (a film by Terry Gilliam). The soundtrack features an original score by in-demand composers Mychael Danna and Jeff Danna along with John Lee Hooker's "
Boom Boom" and the opening track "Van Gogh In Hollywood," performed and written by the film's lead male actor Jeff Bridges. The album also includes an unlisted bonus track, "Wash Me In The Blood Of Jesus," co-composed and co-written by Terry Gilliam.
"Tideland," which will be released theatrically by THINKFilm on October 13, celebrates the resiliency of childhood and the power of the imagination as only Terry Gilliam, one of our few truly visionary filmmakers, could conceive it.
Jeliza-Rose (Jodelle Ferland) is a young girl in a very unusual situation -- both of her parents are junkies and she is usually left to her own devices for entertainment. After the death of her mother (Jennifer Tilly), her father (Jeff Bridges), a rock 'n roll musician well past his prime, takes her to a remote farm in the country. She escapes the vast loneliness of her new home by retreating into a world that exists only in her mind. Here, fireflies have names, bog-men awaken at dusk, and squirrels talk. And the heads of her four dolls -- Mystique, Baby Blonde, Glitter Gal, and Sateen Lips -- long since separated from their bodies, keep her company.
As optimistic as it is surreal, as humorous as it is suspenseful, and filled with extraordinary, hallucinatory images that defy description, "Tideland" is Terry Gilliam at his uncompromised best.
