It is an adaptation of Mitch Cullin's novel of the same name. The film was shot in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, and the surrounding area in late 2004. The world premiere was at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival where the film received a mixed response from both viewers and critics. After little interest from U.S. distributors, THINKFilm picked the film up for a U.S. release date in October 2006. Despite the film's eclectic and unconventional themes, which included child abuse, decomposition, incest, flatulence, mental illnesses and heroin usage, Tideland featured a number of notable actors, including Jennifer Tilly, Jeff Bridges, and Janet McTeer. ## Credits - **Director:** [Terry Gilliam](https://cinepixo.com/people/terry-gilliam) - **Screenplay:** [Terry Gilliam](https://cinepixo.com/people/terry-gilliam), [Mitch Cullin](https://cinepixo.com/people/mitch-cullin), [Tony Grisoni](https://cinepixo.com/people/tony-grisoni) - **Original Music Composer:** [Mychael Danna](https://cinepixo.com/people/mychael-danna), [Jeff Danna](https://cinepixo.com/people/jeff-danna) - **Producer:** [Jeremy Thomas](https://cinepixo.com/people/jeremy-thomas) - **Director of Photography:** [Nicola Pecorini](https://cinepixo.com/people/nicola-pecorini) - **Editor:** [Lesley Walker](https://cinepixo.com/people/lesley-walker) ## Cast - [Jeff Bridges](https://cinepixo.com/people/jeff-bridges) - [Jodelle Ferland](https://cinepixo.com/people/jodelle-ferland) - [Dylan Taylor](https://cinepixo.com/people/dylan-taylor) - [Janet McTeer](https://cinepixo.com/people/janet-mcteer) - [Jennifer Tilly](https://cinepixo.com/people/jennifer-tilly) - [Brendan Fletcher](https://cinepixo.com/people/brendan-fletcher) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
