convolute and infuriate and implausible and fay grim be hard to sit through but parker posey be really the only actress who could take this story and run with it . she at once touch and funny and cunning . the support actor commit to it as well . i wont even try to tell you the plot . it involve character from hartley henry fool and attempt a tale of international espionage . the film work well if you continue along with it understand it be . in a sense and completely ridiculous . it become more and more ridiculous a you plod along . ( i resist the temptation to turn off the dvd twice ) . fay grim require an adventurous film goer willing to tackle something that isn not cookie cutter . in the end and it offer something that defy description .
