Nov. 20th, 2004 12:22 amThere's a little movie by Hal Hartley called Trust.
You won't find it anywhere but some run-down, indie video shop.
It's a hard-pressed little lump of coal, diamond-sharp.
If you ever felt like carrying a hand grenade in your pocket at all times, 'just in case' -
If you've ever felt yourself drawn to save someone else because you know that you yourself are beyond saving - or just because, you happened to be there at the time -
If you ever wanted to turn your back and plunge from a high place, not knowing, not expecting, with no anticipation for the arms that are, after all, there to catch you before your body meets the ground -
Well. This might be your movie.
It does it for me, anyway.
