Review of Simple Men (1992) by Private U — 23 Aug 2008
Hartley's singular directive is to play with cinema, particularly with cinema's language and he does this by supplanting 40's 'noir' speak lets say, into modern scenario, forcing a double negative of sorts.
We have tomes delivered when politenesses should be spoken, 'be good to her and she'll be good to you' altogether bringing an immediacy to modern dramatic diologue no-on else is attempts. love hal hartley.
