Hal Hartley[1] (born November 3, 1959) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer and composer who became a key figure in the American independent film movement of the 1980s and '90s.[2][3] He is best known for his films The Unbelievable Truth, Trust, Simple Men, Amateur and Henry Fool,[4] which are notable for deadpan humour and offbeat characters quoting philosophical dialogue.[5]
His films provided a career launch for a number of actors, including Adrienne Shelly, Edie Falco, James Urbaniak, Martin Donovan, Karen Sillas and Elina Löwensohn. Hartley frequently scores his own films using his pseudonym Ned Rifle,[6] and his soundtracks regularly feature music by Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo and PJ Harvey.
