Ned Rifle
Hal Hartley's 2014 feature is a spirited indie about a young Christian tracking down his father, who believes he might be the devil. He's joined by Aubrey Plaza's grad student, Susan, who has her own bone to pick with the notorious Henry Fool...
Where to Land
Hal Hartley's first new film in a decade is a melancholy farce about mortality and what we'll call "late middle-age". Bill Sage is a semi-retired filmmaker who isn't dying faster than the rest of us but who behaves like he might be.
