If you're used to checking out this blog and not the main page, surf over there for
Nick Dawson's interview with Hal Hartley, whose
Fay Grim opens today.
An excerpt:
I'm one of those people who doesn't think the world has changed any at all since 9/11. It just seemed to be almost inevitable, something like that. That's one of the reasons why the backstory of Fay Grim goes all the way back into the '80s. I was trying to sketch out the continuity of all this hanky-panky between the security agencies of the world. I think you're right in another sense, I was writing this as the invasion of Afghanistan was going on at the time. I simply tried to focus on making Fay a representative American, in the sense that she's a type that a lot of us might associate with: she's not terribly educated, but she's not stupid; she's got a big heart, but she's uninformed; she doesn't know how tough she can be.
