20.12.2011: SIMPLE MEN (1992)

Hal Hartley’s third feature film, Simple Men opens with a robber, Bill, asking a bound and blindfolded security guard if he can take his Virgin Mary medallion. “Be good to her and she’ll be good to you,” says the guard. From there, Bill and his younger brother Dennis go off in search of their father, an anarchist who committed a bombing many years ago. The only clue is an old phone number on Long Island. So begins this oddball narrative about the strangeness of how fate unfolds.
