From acclaimed director Hal Hartley (Trust, The Unbelievable Truth) comes a strange and fascinating comedy. Simon (James Urbaniak, American Splendor) is a garbage man living a desperate and miserable life until he meets Henry Fool (Thomas Jay Ryan, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), a mysterious writer working on a major piece of literature. Henry convinces Simon to write in a journal and learns that he is a poetic prodigy. When Simon’s work appears on the Internet, he becomes a controversial sensation. As Simon’s career rises and Henry’s falls, Henry turns to Simon for help. Also featuring Parker Posey (Superman Returns), HENRY FOOL is an original and thought-provoking film. Newly remastered.
