henry fool be a good film . but this be the perfect way to follow up a film like henry fool . to take henry very seriously and his lie and his mysterious aura . even the opening shot of henry fool when simon put his ear to the ground a henry come walk over the hill be more fully manifest through fay grim . the over the top joke and that be more or less meta joke ( about the writing of the film and the joke themselves ) and be good but the opening of the film be a little saturate in them . also hartley use of dutch angle throughout the film be jar and yes and it intention and but it feel force and over use and it go beyond jar to and what i would like to call and annoy . it a flaw film and but a must see for any hartley or henry fool fan . and do not listen to stupid review and do not watch this unless you have see the first film . the intrigue and satire and wit of this movie be totally lose if you haven not see henry fool . it a sequel . that just dumb .
