Henry Fool

About this book

The new film from the chronicler of modern-day love in America. Henry Fool is set in an apparently settled suburban community whose underlying tensions come bursting to the surface with the arrival of a stranger in town -- Henry Fool. An unshaven embodiment of the Life Force Henry insinuates himself into the family of a garbage man named Simon and changes their lives irrevocably. Poetic bawdy contemplative often side-wrenchingly funny and finally quite touching Henry Fool displays Hal Hartleys fine talent at its peak.
