Fay Grim

Nearly a decade after the events described in Henry Fool, charismatic director Hal Hartley returns to continue the story about the curious family Grim. As opposed to the first episode of the trilogy (enriched by Ned Rifle in 2014), this time he offers an intriguing spy story though in his own unmistakable style, shot almost entirely using the "Dutch angle," to boot. Fay's husband Henry is hiding from the police, while her brother Simon (winner of the Nobel Prize for literature) is imprisoned. A mysterious package addressed to her little son Ned gets the attention of the CIA (Jeff Goldblum plays one of the agents) which is looking for Henry's mythical manuscript to solve an international conspiracy. Unsuspecting Fay follows the trail to Paris. The multi-award-winning and legendary indie film director Hal Hartley returns in Fay Grim to his favorite characters. As usual, he skillfully mixes movies genres, plays with convention, but most of all lets his favorite actor Parker Posey spread her wings in the starring role.
