''Henry Fool'' is a 1997 American black comedy-drama film written, produced and directed by Hal Hartley, featuring Thomas Jay Ryan, James Urbaniak, and Parker Posey. As in ''The Unbelievable Truth'', an earlier Hartley film, expectation and reality again conflict. The film won the best screenplay award at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Festival de Cannes: Henry Fool )〕 A sequel, titled ''Fay Grim'', was released in 2007. Another sequel, titled ''Ned Rifle'', was released in 2015. ==Plot== Socially inept garbage-man Simon Grim is befriended by Henry Fool, a witty rogue and untalented novelist. Henry opens the world of literature to Simon, and inspires him to write "the great American poem". Simon struggles to get his work recognized, and it is often dismissed as pornographic tat, but Henry continues to push and inspire Simon to get the poem published. Henry carries around a bundle of notebooks that he refers to as "His Confession," a work that details aspects of his mysterious past that he one day hopes to publish, when he and the world is ready for them. Henry's hedonistic antics cause all manner of turns in the lives of Simon's family, not least of which is impregnating Fay Grim (Simon's sister). As Simon begins an ascent to the dizzying heights of Nobel Prize-winning poet, Henry sinks to a life of drinking in low-life bars as his own attempts at fame result in rejection, even by Simon's publisher who once employed Henry. The friends part ways and lose touch, until Henry’s criminal past catches up with him and he needs Simon’s help with fleeing the country. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Fool」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
