Additional InformationIn Hal Hartley's first feature film, THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH, Josh (Robert Burke), a criminal who has just been released from prison, returns home to Lindenhurst, Long Island. There he's hired as a mechanic by Vic Hugo (Christopher Cooke), the owner of a local garage. Through a mutual interest in George Washington, Josh falls in love with Vic's daughter, Audry (Adrienne Shelly). However, their romance proves to be difficult due to Audry's possessive ex-boyfriend and the mystery surrounding Josh's past.<BR>THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH effectively establishes Hartley's unique aesthetic, which is darkly humorous, oddly clever, and subtly meditative. Rather than merely hint at their thoughts, the characters in this film (and other Hartley films) tend to speak exactly what they're thinking, openly expressing things often left unsaid. A quirky take on the romantic comedy, this is the debut of a highly original American filmmaker.
ReviewsRolling Stone - Hartley's debut deserves heralding; he combines a rigorous social conscience with the exuberance of fresh comic thinking., TV Guide - THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH captivates with its committedly off-center vision of suburban angst., Vox - ...Like a breath of fresh celluloid..., Time Out - ...Funny, intriguing and stylish...
