Hilarious! - Simple Men review by NK
A great, character-driven comedy/drama, delivered in Hal Hartley's trademark deadpan style. Very reminiscent of 'Amateur' (with many of the same actors). For me, what earned it that fifth star was the scene in the diner where the protagonists - two men and a woman - perform a cool, synchronised dance routine, very similar to the cafe dance scene in Jean Luc Godard's 'The Outsiders', except the moves are a lot more eccentric and the tune they're dancing to is Kool Thing by Sonic Youth.
