New Showbiz Analysis

Peter Hutton’s *Time and Tide* is a formalist exploration of the Hudson River, emphasizing its rhythmic qualities and natural beauty. The film avoids human social dynamics and instead focuses on the landscape and temporal flow. By concentrating on the non-human subject, the film sidesteps traditional character-driven narratives and identity-based representation. The work prioritizes the natural environment over human-centric institutions, resulting in an observational rather than an inclusive film.
