This short film exemplifies why I love Hartley's early works. This film shows Brooklyn before all of the squares wanted to move out of the burbs and live in cities again. As someone who lived in various cities (including Brooklyn) in the 90's it is amusing to watch his portrayal of people who lived there at that time. I really like his old school stuff and the cast are always great even if they aren't all top notch actors.

I lived in Williamsburg in the late '80s/90's. This whimsical, super-stylish short film captures the absurdity of that raw place of yore, which so quickly became populated with imports and wanna-bes. An elegant and funny film with a cool sense of cinema history and a dash of philosophy.
Hartley's early work are the best!
