What was once a brave frontier town has become a haven for enlightened oddballs in this unusual drama from director Michael Polish, written in collaboration with his twin brother, Mark Polish. Northfork is a small town in Montana which, in 1955, is soon to disappear in the name of progress; a massive hydroelectric dam is to be put in nearby, which will flood the entire village. A group of six men sent by the power company — led by Walter O’Brien (James Woods) and his son Willis (Mark Polish) — arrive in Northfork to evacuate the few remaining residents. If the men are successful, they’ll each be given parcels of land on the banks of the new lake which will be where Northfork once stood. Most of the townspeople have already left, but a few remain, among them Father Harlan (Nick Nolte), a man of the cloth who is caring for Irwin (Duel Farnes), a strange, scarred boy apparently on his deathbed, and a handful of enchanted eccentrics who have taken over a local bar, including Flower Hercules (Daryl Hannah), Cup of Tea (Robin Sachs), Happy (Anthony Edwards), and Cod (Ben Foster). As Walter and Willis try to persuade the stubborn stragglers to move on, Walter must search for a new final resting place for his late wife, whose coffin is the last to be relocated after Northfork’s cemetery is dug up. Northfork received its world premier at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival., Directed by Michael Polish and written by him and his brother Mark (their two previous films are Twin Falls, Idaho and Jackpot), this has a mysterious, dream-like quality, aided by the appearance of four angels. Set in 50s Montana, Northfork is a small town destined to be drowned when the new dam’s reservoir fills. As local government teams tour the area ensuring everyone has left, parish priest Father Harlan remains, caring for sick orphan Irwin, who in his fever imagines four angels who promise to care for Irwin, who believes he is a lost angel. The film’s colours are leached to an almost monochrome look, giving an other-worldly feel to the lyrically-observed proceedings in a film with as much style as substance., Striking visuals power this haunting drama starring James Woods and Nick Nolte. In 1955, six men try to evacuate the stubborn residents of a Montana town before it’s flooded to make a lake. Among the citizens who refuse to leave is a preacher (Nolte), who’s caring for a sick orphan. Mark Polish, Daryl Hannah, Anthony Edwards., Northfork, Minnesota has only a few days left before it’s flooded by a new reservoir. While sick Irwin dreams of the angels who will rescue him, evacuators in dark suits try to persuade the stragglers to leave their farmhouses.
