SFIFF50 I heart “Fay Grim”
A continuation of his 1997 opus Henry Fool, Fay Grim is a similarly off-center ode to love and human potential by indie-auteur Hal Hartley. Now following the story of abandoned wife Fay (brilliantly played by Parker Posey) the film begins in Queens and establishes the barely contained chaos that Henry (Thomas Jay Ryan) left when he abandoned Fay and their son Ned (Liam Aiken) seven years ago.
- Originally I put up my whole interview then I got my head about me and realized this film is hold review. I’ll put up the whole review closer to the release date. Sorry for the messiness!
I interviewed Hartley and Posey on Bealtaine and I’ll be selling those interviews (and blogging about it) shortly. Hartley said Ned’s the next up for a title film and that the Grim/Fool family will be like Hartley’s “Skywalker” family.
Also, please check out the photos my genius husband has put up on his flickr site. Of course his images will accompany my interviews no matter where they may end up;-)
