Henry Fool
Henry Fool is a 1997 American black comedydrama film written, produced and directed by Hal Hartley, featuring Thomas Jay Ryan, James Urbaniak, and Parker Posey. As in The Unbelievable Truth, an earlier Hartley film, expectation and reality again conflict.
Socially inept garbageman Simon Grim is befriended by Henry Fool, a witty rogue and untalented novelist. Henry opens the world of literature to Simon, and inspires him to write the great American poem. Simon struggles to get his work recognized, and it is often dismissed as pornographic tat, but Henry continues to push and inspire Simon to get the poem published.Henry carries around a bundle of notebooks that he refers to as His Confession, a work that details aspects of his mysterious past that he one day hopes to publish, when he and the world is ready for them. Henrys hedonistic antics cause all manner of turns in the lives of Simons family, not least of which is impregnating Fay Grim Simons sister. ........
