One of the few sequels to morph into a different genre even though a lot of the same characters return. Not as good as _Henry Fool_, but worth seeing all the same just for being so... well... endearingly weird as only Hartley films can be

Don't watch Fay Grim if you don't wanna see 1. Hartley totally running out of bullets 2. Elina Löwensohn getting old (yea I was thinking she'll be 90ies Ice Queen forever and ever). Hartley got an interesting idea, Simon Grim got arrested and while losing on sales as a poet has a scandal potential. His publisher calls Fae to publish Fool's rejected confessions to use the opportunity. So far, so good, rest is hell. By the way was Posey on dope while acting here? She looks so out of her body.
