I think it’s what people think about when they think about his style. Or maybe I think that just because it was the first of his I saw.
You very well could hate it! I’ve only watched four or five of his movies all the way through.
I recommend The Straight Story no matter what you think of his other movies, though.

🎞this finnish fool gets it. if you like early jim jarmusch or win wenders this is next up in your cue. all of his 80s films are perfect. dry comedy, sad, romantic, slow, good music, relatable themes, meandering and mystical. what’s especially cool about him is that he mainly works with the same cinematographer and shoots only on film. so the movies he made in the 2000s feel and look the same as his early works. i love all his movies but i’d highly recommend starting with:
- SHADOWS IN PARADISE - ARIEL - THE MATCH FACTORY GIRL - LIGHTS IN THE DUSK - LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA
- SHADOWS IN PARADISE - ARIEL - THE MATCH FACTORY GIRL - LIGHTS IN THE DUSK - LENINGRAD COWBOYS GO AMERICA

😃I feel like I won't be the first to recommend this. You, probably like me, have someone else's Criterion login/password and saw that Hal Hartley's films were featured. You ALSO didn't know about him despite being a self-appointed cinephile, so you watched them all, loved most of them and bought the ones you could afford in DVD format on ebay.
Anyway, I recommend the films of Hal Hartley. They're kinda perfect and idk why no one ever references them. Or maybe I'm the last to know?

I’m not sure why, I guess things ending are sad. Here’s a self portrait I made in charcoal. The proportions are wonky but it kinda looks like me!

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists.
The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

🤪I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
