“American Possibility: The Cinema of Hal Hartley” (3’46″ intro)
As the Canadian Film Institute’s Tom McSorley writes as a February-March retrospective is announced, ”Hartley’s work combines the best of American-style exuberance and intelligence with broader artistic influences from Europe and Asia. His work has been favourably compared to the films of Hollywood comedic master, Preston Sturges, to the searching and formally inventive films of French New Wave legend, Jean-Luc Godard, to the kinetic, balletic solemnity of Buster Keaton movies.”
