Back from the beyond

Post – October 13, 2001

You know how sometimes you forget how much you love a movie until someone reminds you of it? That happened when Moira did a post about director Hal Hartley, and I remembered how much I love “Trust.” One of the more unusual love stories you’ll ever see, Martin Donovan’s misanthropic Matthew and Adrienne Shelly’s soulful Maria make quite a couple. Every frame is fascinating, and the dialogue is priceless. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

    oh yeah I remember that. Especially the line “oh I don’t watch Television….. Television gives you cancer”

    I AM Matthew, at least at my workplace. I get the feeling behind my back my coworkers have voted me “Most Likely to Strangle Everyone at a Work Halloween Party” or something.

    It’s an overlooked classic. Definitely.
