This is actually the ONLY Hartley film I've seen... I thought it was great.
Man, this movie is great. Glad it's finally out...I haven't seen it since it was in theaters.
The only other Hartley film I've seen was Book Of Life, a short about the end of the world starring (among others) PJ Harvey as Mary Magdalene. It's pretty funny.
I didn't like Henry Fool. It's been a while since I saw it, but I remember it not having much of a point. The noisy diarrhea scene was gross and stupid.

but that scene was "Scatological"
Never did get around to seeing this film, but I really like Hartley's "Flirt".

I've seen that one and
The Unbelievable Truth? I would love to see
Amateur and, especially,
Simple Men. Am awaiting DVDs.
Hartley and Harvey are good friends, apparently. He directed the video for a single called "Crawl Home" just released under the group name "Desert Sessions," featuring Harvey and members of Queens of the Stone Age. Harvey sings on it, the Queens sing and play. The video has no lip-syncing; it stars Harvey and Josh Groban and has endless variations on a lover's spat in a car as the song plays on the soundtrack. The video matches the tune in editing, I suppose; there's no indication that the two "characters" have any knowledge they're in a music video.
I saw this a while back and remembered liking it, but I'd really have to see it again.
I remember a few years back I was traveling through Brazil and checking out Blockbuster to see how things were like there. All in all, mostly the same in the United States. The thing that caught my eye is that Henry Fool had just as many copies (if not more) in the new release section than any major blockbuster. That was a nice surprise.
Love this flick.
....glad it's cheap, too. Time of year... wallet hurting... need to steal...
Yes. I wish there was a way to steal from Amazon.
I've got that Desert Sessions DVD, Godardian. It's got some good stuff on it. A nice bit of filler while we wait for her next album.
