description: 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 Hartley's fine talent at its peak.
