This week, we discuss two films from American Indie director Hal Hartley.

The first is The Unbelievable Truth (1989), starring Adrienne Shelly and Robert Burke. It tells the story of Audry, a girl who dumps her high-school boyfriend and becomes a successful fashion model, and her relationship with a mysterious man called Josh, recently released from prison after serving time for manslaughter.

The second is Trust (1990), starring Adrienne Shelly and Martin Donovan. Two young misfits, both in emotional shock, meet in a Long Island town and through trials develop a platonic relationship based on mutual admiration, respect and trust.
