Hal Hartley Retrospective
TRUST
Sunday, August 27^th at 2:15 PM
Hosted by David Schwartz

The central film within Hal Hartley’s acclaimed Long Island Trilogy, Trust is a deadpan love story centering on two misfits from the Long Island suburbs. Matthew (Martin Donovan) is a dangerously idealistic electronics wiz so fed up with his job that he puts his manager’s head in a vise, and Maria (Adrienne Shelly) is a high school dropout who has just been kicked out of her home after learning that she’s pregnant. The film is told with Hartley's characteristic verbal dexterity and mordant wit - a hilarious and moving analysis of family violence and the moral courage it takes to defeat it and assume faith in others. Swinging between melodrama and absurdist satire, this understated gem is regarded as one of the essential American Independent films of the 1990's. (USA, 1990, 107 mins, R, English | Dir. Hal Hartley)

“Adrienne Shelly makes Maria's transformation from a smart-mouthed girl to a wise young woman both poignant and credible. Like Ms. Shelly, Martin Donovan (as Matthew) knows how to make Mr. Hartley's pared-down, stylized dialogue express the essence of his character.” (Caryn James, The New York Times)
