On Monday, April 30 the 50th San Francisco International Film Festival
is presenting Hal Hartley`s "Fay Grim", at 9:15 p.m. at the Sundance
Cinemas Kabuki. The director revisits characters from his indie opus
"Henry Fool" in this delightfully provocative parable of politics and
selfless love starring Parker Posey as the titular heroine on a quest
to discover the "unbelievable truth" about that fool Fool.
Applying his inimitable mix of tragicomic melodrama and machine-gun
dialogue exchange, Hartley pays homage to Fassbinder`s brave heroines,
Godard`s cinematic wit and the screwball universe of Howard Hawks in
this epic for our twisted times. For tickets and other screenings,
