Two misfits from the Long Island suburbs trust-fall into each other in this deadpan romantic comedy from one of the most idiosyncratic voices to have emerged from the American Independent scene of the 1990s. Swinging between melodrama and absurdist satire, Hal Hartley captures the fundamental humanity within his characters in understated, everyday moments. A love story that stands the test of time, as earnest as it is existential.Trust is guest presented by Eliza Hittman as part of FLICKER POINTS, a series for young movie lovers. This screening is free and open to people ages 15-19.Post-screening discussion with Eliza Hittman.
