Over the course of nearly thirty years, Hal Hartley has cultivated
a reputation as one of America's most steadfastly independent film
directors. From his breakthrough films - The Unbelievable Truth
(1989), Trust (1990), and Simple Men (1992) - to his recently
completed 'Henry Fool' trilogy, Hartley has honed a rigorous,
deadpan, and instantly recognizable film style informed by both
European modernism and playful revisions of Classical Hollywood
genres. Featuring new essays on this important director and his
films, this collection explores Hartley's work from a variety of
aesthetic, cultural, and economic contexts, while also looking
closely at his collaborations with actors, the contexts of his
authorial reputation, his reworking of the romantic comedy and
other genres, and the shifting economics of his filmmaking. This
book, up-to-date through Hartley's latest film, Ned Rifle (2014),
includes new scholarship on the director's early work as well as
reflections on his cinema in connection with new theories and
approaches to independent filmmaking. Covering the entire
trajectory of his career, including both his features and short
films, the book also includes new readings of several of Hartley's
seminal films, including Amateur (1994), Flirt (1995), and Henry
Fool (1997).
