To paraphrase Kent Jones on John Carpenter: America doesn’t have so many great directors to spare that it can afford to let Hal Hartley fall through the cracks. It’s been 11 years since Ned Rifle, and while a spate of restorations and Criterion Channel streams (to say nothing of a novel based on his aborted Amazon series) do something to reinforce Hartley’s inimitable talents, there’s the sense that this filmmaker of only 65 shouldn’t be out to pasture. Thus the all-around cheer when his Kickstarter for Where to Land reached its goal in 2023––there’s surely a better world where he doesn’t have to ask to such extents, but this is not that world.
Where to Land finally debuts on September 12 at New York’s Roxy Cinema, hopefully with cities to follow. Ahead of this there’s a trailer that features a proper Hartley cast...
