Review of Henry Fool (1998) by Mark N — 21 Apr 2012
One of those movies that you start to watch and you probably are not sure why you are still watching more than an hour later. The tale itself is very simple, as are the characters and yet they charm and intrigue. Henry Fool is like some force of nature that inserts itself into the Grim family and shakes up their mundane lives. He is by turns benevolent then malevolent and his motives, though unclear, seem to be hedonistic one minute and generous the next.
If you are new to Hal Hartley you can do no better than this and its sequel Fay Grim followed by his charming monster tale No Such Thing.
