WHERE THE HEART IS (1990) Dabney Coleman Uma Thurman dir. John Boorman | SCENE
Art and commerce. A strange and extraordinary fantasy which obliquely reminds one of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM. The trompe-l'œil sequences are just the first element that separates this from the usual late-1980s formula fest. See also PARENTHOOD and GREMLINS 2: THE NEW BATCH for the mundane and the bizarre which was only capable in this moment of movies.
1990. Dir. John Boorman. Also starring Crispin Glover, Joanna Cassidy (my moon goddess, and snake lady from BLADE RUNNER), Christopher Plummer, Maury Chaykin. Cinematography by Peter Suschitzky.
