The best of the trilogy. Feels more like a play than a movie. I love Hal Hartly’s directing style and this might be his best.
Has an uninteresting story that is told in a very convoluted and disjointed way. Feels very amateurish despite some recognizable actors

An egocentric bum transforms the lives of a shy New Jersey garbageman and his sister.
Many years after her notorious husband, Henry Fool, fled after killing a neighbor, Fay Grim receives a visit from CIA agent Fulbright, who tells her that Henry is dead, but that some of his journals have been unearthed in France. She sets forth on a globe-trotting odyssey that soon leads to the discovery that he is alive, and his journals are more than they appear to be.
Henry’s and Fay's son Ned sets out to find and kill his father for destroying his mother's life. But his aims are frustrated by the troublesome Susan, whose connection to Henry predates even his arrival in the lives of the Grim family.
