Hal Hartley continued his dazzling run of ’90s indie greats
with this bawdy epic which took the Best Screenplay award at Cannes.
Self-conscious garbage man, Simon Grim (James Urbaniak), endures a
colorless life with his depressed mom and oversexed sister, Fay (Parker
Posey). That is until he's befriended by their new tenant, Henry Fool (Thomas
Jay Ryan). Though depraved, conceited, and lazy, Henry has a way with words
and he inspires his new friend to write a book length poem that catapults the
awkward binman to literary fame. (USA, 1997,
138 mins, R, English | Dir. Hal Hartley)
“Here is a great American film that's no more likely
than Nashville to turn up on the American Film Institute's Top-100 hit
parade…but will linger where it matters: in the hearts and minds of viewers
receptive to its epic vision.” (Janet Maslin, The New York Times)
