Northfork

From idiosyncratic filmmaking brothers Michael and Mark Polish, Northfork takes place in a small town in 1955 Middle America that is being evacuated to make way for a new dam. From there, the movie darts off in directions that
are at turns mythical, Biblical and downright bizarre, all captured in striking black-and-white imagery. This is meticulously staged stuff, and never less than mesmerizing.
