Tideland . . . after seeing The Last Station

What a contrast in films, to watch The Last Station and then Tideland. I hadn’t seen Tideland when it first came out. Don’t know how I missed the Gilliam film. The actor who played the central character Jeliza-Rose was pretty phenomenal. I haven’t seen Jodelle Ferland in any film since (or before) 2005. She seems to be featured only in B-movies. Too bad she’s already been typecast. There’s real talent in Ferland. And the phrase “hundred-years ocean” was poetic in its synesthesia . . . a haunting phrase of impossible times and places..
