-
Thu 18 October 2012 // 20:00
(Thursday 18th Oct / 8pm / £5/4)
(Hal Hartley / 1997 / USA / 137 minutes / certificate 18)
20th Century Cube has picked Hal Hartley's ramshackle epic Henry Fool for their October screening. The eponymous Henry, a free-spirited and somewhat deluded writer, crashes into the life of an unassuming garbageman called Simon and swiftly proceeds to turn his life upside down. It's an ambitious epic comedy drama: unashamed of its pretensions, unbound in its compassion and unmatched in its slacker intimacy. Starring To those unfamiliar with the work of this indie svengali, prepare yourselves for a journey through the intellectual hinterland of 90s America: a land of frustrated ambitions and the directionless pursuit of spiritual fulfilment. Starring Thomas Jay Ryan, James Urbaniak and Parker Posey.
