Toronto Film Festival, the buzz is building
...And then there was Terry Gilliam's ''Tideland," a movie about which its own director told the world premiere audience, '' 'Enjoy' is maybe not the right word, but I hope you survive the film." If it was transgression you were looking for, this one had it by the boatload: Jeff Bridges as a junkie rock star dad who overdoses early on, rots on-screen, then is skinned and tanned; exploding Amtrak trains; talking doll heads; hints of pedophilia; and a young girl who escapes her hellish existence by treating it as the stuff of fairy tale. The movie's a classic case of a gifted filmmaker's obsessions finally sailing over the edge and taking him along, but as the prairie Candide at the movie's center, 10-year-old Jodelle Ferland has a talent to make Fanning call her agent in alarm.
Interviewed while digging enthusiastically into a baked potato at a downtown hotel, Ferland, clad in a pink Chanel knockoff, giggled and looked askance at suggestions that what her character goes through might be considered profoundly disturbing by audiences. ''I don't usually do happy films," she said, then went on to note that her favorite scene in the movie, a food fight between her character and the mentally defective epileptic man with whom she falls in love, was cut. Welcome to Hollywood, kid.
