Few American filmmakers of the last 40 years await a major rediscovery like Hal Hartley, whose traces in modern movies are either too-minor or entirely unknown. Thus it’s cause for celebration that the Criterion Channel are soon launching a major retrospective: 13 features (which constitutes all but My America) and 17 shorts, a sui generis style and persistent vision running across 30 years. Expect your Halloween party to be aswim in Henry Fool costumes.
Speaking of: there’s a one-month headstart on seasonal programming with the 13-film “High School Horror”––most notable perhaps being a streaming premiere for the uncut version of Suspiria, plus the rare opportunity to see a Robert Rodriguez movie on the Criterion Channel––and a retrospective of Hong Kong vampire movies. A retrospective of ’70s car movies offer chills and thrills of a different sort

Updated: On New Year’s Day, Deadline wrote about the plight of director Hal Hartley, who had till Saturday to raise $92,000 to be able to make his next film, Where To Land. He sought to raise the money through Kickstarter, which is how he has funded five previous modestly budget films. Well, he’s now six for six. Hartley’s film passed the $300,000 minimum threshold, with one day to spare. Good for Deadline readers, who surely helped his cause and start off the year knowing a worthy indie filmmaker is still in business.
Exclusive, January 1, 9:51 A.M.: Stalwart independent writer/director Hal Hartley’s next film has a ticking clock thriller mechanism built into it, even before he begins shooting a scene. Hartley, still going some 30 years after bursting on the scene with a bunch of other maverick moviemakers in the indie heyday of the 1990s, needs about...

Happy Sunday, "Bold And The Beautiful" fans. We've got some more pretty interesting news for you guys today in regards to the latest casting for your favorite soap opera. It turns out that the producers have just recently added a new, fulltime male character to the mix. I kind of have a feeling that a lot of you might not like this one though. It's because it has to do with the new girl Zoe. A lot of you have expressed that you just really don't like her. For those of you who feel that way, this is going to be really bad news for you. It turns out that the producers have big plans to include her father! That's right. This new male character they're adding is none other than Zoe's dad! He will be played by current "Let's Make A Deal" host Wayne Brady. You guys can view...

Rio de Janeiro’s International Film Festival opened last night (Oct 1) celebrating the life and work of local hero Chico Buarque who, at 71, remains one of Brazil’s top composers, musicians and singers.
The world premiere of documentary Chico - Artista Brasileiro packed Cine Odeon, a 90-year-old movie theatre that will host public screenings of the most important festival sections, including Premiere Brasil.
As Rio celebrated its 450th anniversary in March, it proved appropriate to open the city’s film festival with a documentary that reflected its spirit and culture.
Directed by Miguel Faria Jr., the film attempts to uncover the man behind the artist simply known as “Chico” in Brazil, with testimonials from the musician and those closest to him.
Chico - Artista Brasileiro centres on the list of the artist who wrote Bossa Nova songs in the 1960s and faced censorship in the 1970s, for attacking the Brazilian military dictatorship in his lyrics.

This is a reprint of our review from the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. By this point, you're either a Hal Hartley devotee, or you're not. The fiercely independent filmmaker established his unique voice on films like "Trust," "Flirt," and "The Unbelievable Truth," and forged an offbeat indie genre unto himself (though it’s never been in vogue). And for most of his career, Hartley’s stayed far away from the studio system (2001's underrated "No Such Thing" being an exception). In 1997, the filmmaker arguably reached the peak of his critical acclaim with "Henry Fool," walking away from the Cannes Film Festival with a Best Screenplay award. It was perhaps the sharpest, most hilarious representation of the filmmaker's distinctly offbeat aesthetics — his deadpan tone, the arch theatrically heightened mise en scene — and he wasn't done with those characters and that world. Nine years later he returned with the sequel, "Fay...

Cinema is a kind of uber-art form that’s made up of a multitude of other forms of art including writing, directing, acting, drawing, design, photography and fashion. As such, film is, as all cinema aficionados know, a highly collaborative venture.
One of the most consistently fascinating collaborations in cinema is that of the director and actor.
This article will examine some of the great director & actor teams. It’s important to note that this piece is not intended as a film history survey detailing all the generally revered collaborations.
There is a wealth of information and study available on such duos as John Ford & John Wayne, Howard Hawks & John Wayne, Elia Kazan & Marlon Brando, Akira Kurosawa & Toshiro Mifune, Alfred Hitchcock & James Stewart, Ingmar Bergman & Max Von Sydow, Federico Fellini & Giulietta Masina/Marcello Mastroianni, Billy Wilder & Jack Lemmon, Francis Ford Coppola & Al Pacino, Woody Allen & Diane Keaton, Martin Scorsese & Robert DeNiro...

Hal Hartley is one of the true originals of modern cinema. A consummate stylist, his work is erudite and eccentric, defiant in its singularity. After making first film The Unbelievable Truth (1989) for just $75,000, Hartley went on to quietly change the face of independent American cinema with his deadpan dialogue, brimming with arch and often philosophical insights on relationships. Over his first few films, Hartley also developed a sophisticated aesthetic to compliment his sharp writing. Over the next few months, Artificial Eye will release The Unbelievable Truth, Simple Men (1992) and Amateur (1994) for the first time on Blu-ray. CineVue's Craig Williams asked Hartley about youth, the Weinsteins and Alan Rudolph.
Craig Williams: What are your feelings about The Unbelievable Truth and Amateur looking back on them now?
Hal Hartley: Though I'm not terribly aged, I am older and I have been doing this for a long time so when I...

Imagine if Woody Allen, Whit Stillman, Kevin Smith and the Sundance Institute had a love child. This ungainly creature, speaking in witty, heightened, unnaturalistic sentences, and ambling, sometimes shambling between comedy, tragedy and pretension, might very well go on to make films that greatly resemble those of Hal Hartley.
Hartley is the man behind such beloved (at least by some) ‘90s indie films as “The Unbelievable Truth” and “Trust.” But to put him into proper context, we find ourselves casting around for parallels: he simply never made enough of a dent in mainstream sensibilities to be able to describe his work to a neophyte without reference to other, more overtly successful filmmakers. Or musicians, perhaps – if we play the equivalents game with the alt-rock explosion of the ‘90s, we get Quentin Tarantino as Nirvana, Jim Jarmusch as Sonic Youth and Kevin Smith as, maybe, Smashing Pumpkins (revered early on, but...

It goes without saying that there is a certain magic within every film. But as much as we love the mystery of the movies, we still can't help wanting to know the secrets behind the magician's sleight of hand. And thanks to IFC, movie buffs in New York will soon have the rare chance to hear about the tricks of the trade from award-winning independent filmmaker, Hal Hartley. Starting on Wednesday, February 29, the IFC Center will launch Evenings with Hal Hartley, where the director - and a few special guests - will premiere his new short feature film, Meanwhile, and discuss the film with the IFC audience immediately after. Hal will then return to the IFC Center on Wednesdays, March 21 and April 4, to screen his earlier films, The Book of Life and Flirt, and will stick around for a Q and A following these presentations as well. With awards from the Sundance,...
