A ten-years-later continuation of Hal Hartley's "Henry Fool", where Fay Grim (Posey) is coerced by a CIA agent (Goldblum) to try and locate notebooks that belonged to her fugitive ex-husband (Ryan). Published in them is information that could compromises the security of the U.S., causing Fay to first head to Paris to fetch them ...
Interesting continuation from independent icon Hal Hartley's underground hit Henry Fool is an admirable mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. Seeing that film a decade ago, being far too young too appreciate the finer intricacies, I still recall being taken aback with how morbidly witty and provokingly earnest it all was, and still consider Henry Fool one of the most influential independent scripts of my young movie watching days. Fay Grim, Hartley's strange and unnecessary decade-after sequel, has little of those endearing qualities which rendered the first so noteworthy.
Fay Grim (Parker Posey) is the wife of Henry Fool, living her admittedly eccentric but relatively normal life after being abandoned by Henry long ago. When strange incidents begin to unravel which indicate the pathetic slacker Henry might not have been who everyone once thought, Fay is pushed into the backstabbing world of international espionage! Playing out as oddly as it sounds, Hartley is to be commended for transforming the original film into a wholly new context. Fay Grim walks a fine line between this espionage satire and a more traditionally offbeat humor that would categorize the first, but both elements do little at enhancing a mythology of this character Hartley is obviously enamored with.
Rather, the film sides with playing out a tepid spy plot in the face of any tangible material we would expect from these players. The script goes to great lengths to make the absurd plot seem less silly, but for the most part Hartley's considerable talent for dialog seems wasted on the shallow double-crossings. By the time we come to any final payoffs, the detailed script has beaten viewers over with too much minutia to be that emotionally invested. The real nail in the coffin for this film however will not be the weird approach (even a Hartley mock-spy movie is interesting in more ways then one) but simply the very fact that the most people will have not a clue about what the entire film is predicated upon. Not watching the obscure Henry Fool would certainly take almost all the fun out of this warped sequel, nearly making the entire experience pointless, and since the movie is not exactly advertised as a sequel to your typical video browser, the movie is almost certainly doomed to have a terrible reputation. If you do belong to that rare group who knows what they are getting into with this however, even the awkward presentation will not take away a delightful reinventing.
I have been a fervent Hal Hartley supporter since I saw his short "Surviving Desire" in high school, and even then was still completely unmoored by his searingly brilliant "Henry Fool." But this 10-year-later sequel is not only unnecessary, it's disgraceful.
After a choppy and expeditious start, "Fay Grim" devolves into pseudo-intellectualism, flat out boredom, and finally unwarranted - and unwanted - nihilism. And that's just the plot.
The majority of the new faces are as frivolous and poorly-developed as the movie: one particularly flat character ends up hogging half the time we spend with the infamous Henry Fool himself, and it's his only spoken scene in the film!
Jeff Goldblum's Agent Fulbright, it seems, is the only bright character (a pun surely intended by Hartley as well). How, then, is he left? **SPOILER** Dead via a car bombing, easily making this the gentle-natured Hartley's most violent film to date, and tonally all wrong in a film that's already all wrong from the word go.
As for the other new characters, Angus James, Ned Fool (or is it Grim?), not to mention Fay herself... well, I won't spoil their fates, as the movie does a good enough job of that all on its own (when it isn't busying itself with yet another godawful canted angle, which gives the disconcerting impression that Hartley is moving backwards from Auteur to crappy film student).
This piece is a complete disaster, a dreadful mess that isn't even good-humored enough to revel in its messiness. Instead it self-indulgently crams the typically fun hipster pretenses of its director into the "real world", one uglier and meaner than it need be but not nearly ugly or mean enough to come close to having anything to say. In doing so, Hartley tracks sh*t all over my memories of these people and the marvelous world he originally created for them.
I have rarely been so depressed at the movies, and I'm counting "Leaving Las Vegas," which at least developed fresh new characters we grew to love before destroying them, instead of immediately disregarding characters already beloved.
Grim, indeed.
Fans of "Henry Fool" in particular, however, may dislike the complete disregard for the characters of the original film. But the most fervent of Hartley followers can praise the film as a brilliant deconstruction of the tacked-on cinematic sequel.
Fay Grim will have a multi-format release on May 18th in the US. It was confirmed by Hal's company, Possible Films, that it will be released in theaters and on HDNet Televison. A DVD release is currently being shown on Amazon.com as May 22nd. 646f9e108c
