I laughed out loud!!
Just stumbled across this movie on STARZ CINEMA. Never hear of it, the director (who apparently has a following) or most of the actors. But I remembered Isabelle Huppert from “Bedroom Window” years ago, and she was worth a look.

What a piece of work! The most inspired, goofy film noir dialogue you will ever hear spoken, by deadpanned actors that somehow still grow on you. The missing person police officer who is heartbroken with every case. The virgin nymphomaniac, when asked how that combination can exist, says “I’m Choosy!” Since she’s an ex-nun, I suppose that’s true. The former porn star (what a sultry look!!) who wants to become a “mover and a shaker”. Priceless stuff. This is also a very gentle R, with almost no profanity or nudity, in its sex crazed, porn sort of way.

Many other IMDb people have given plot points, and either love or hate the presentation, but anyone who was not flat out hysterical when the “hitman” got shot, should stick to TV sitcoms. It was a pure Monty Python worthy moment!!

Off-beat, funny drama from a true original
Hal Hartley is just my all-out favourite auteur director, brought me through my teens and helped form my world view. When he makes a film you’re in for something that is at the very least interesting, and at best, moves you, creates a new world out of the one you’re already in, shows you the art in life. That sounds pretentious and some might think his films are too; but that’s just the knee-jerk effect that comes with overexposure to rubbish presented as if it’s art. But one good Hal Hartley film cures a soul wearied with too much dross.

“Amateur” is up there with “Trust” and “The Unbelievable Truth” if you have any time at all for films which are off-kilter, intelligent and which depart from the linear norm. They’re also very funny, in a low-key way. His actors are usually regulars, skilled at his unique, poetic and rhythmic script style. His America is intriguing, a place painted with the eye of a true original, and presented with a rigour entirely absent from many more recent so-called independent American films. Another reviewer here noted the strong European flavour in his work; this is quite right; and if you enjoy a varied experience of film I can’t see how you wouldn’t like his best.

The plot of “Amateur” is crazy and contorted, like a dance, with a fascinating premise and a weird logic of its own. Martin Donovan here is Hartley’s muse; he perfectly captures the rapid, deadpan delivery and manages to be charming and mysterious, dangerous and vulnerable with minimal changes in expression. Why his career has stayed largely small-scale is beyond me. Perhaps he goes about his work too quietly; perhaps his jaw isn’t chiselled enough, I don’t know.

But Isabelle Huppert is outstanding as the struggling porn writer fresh out of the convent. Says her scumbag-with-a-heart publisher of her attempts: “The problem is, it’s quite bad. It’s poetry, and don’t you try and deny it.” And it is poetry; heartbreakingly so. She looks out at the strange world, uniquely innocent, with her big, solemn eyes, and you instinctively feel with her, and wish her a knight to watch over her. And of course, this being Hal Hartley’s world, her protector arrives, uniquely flawed. He could be Grandma; or he could be the Wolf. Excellent, good-looking and intriguing.
