Many of the filmmakers who emerged from the wave of American independent filmmaking of the late 1980s and early '90s, such as Richard Linklater, Quentin Tarantino, Jim Jarmusch and Steven Soderbergh, have remained active. Filmmaker Hal Hartley was once spoken of as part of that group with a run of films at that time that included “The Unbelievable Truth,” “Trust,” “Simple Men” and “Flirt,” which mixed irony and romance, comedy and drama. In a recent interview, Hartley joked that his influence is largest among “people who were young and impressionable in the early '90s.”
