Intense Hal Hartley article/interview from New York Metro
Hartley explains that the future consumer dystopia of The Girl From Monday was inspired by—and shot in—the advertising-addled world outside his window. “The evil empire’s headquarters in the movie,” he says, pointing to an unfinished office building on the far shore of the Hudson, “is right there.”

With The Girl From Monday, Hartley thought he was making his most accessible film in years. He shot “girls in great clothes just beating the shit out of cops,” he says. He included more nudity than in any of his other films—chase scenes, even. “When we were shooting, we thought, People are going to love this. This is hip and cool. And then when we finished,” he says, “we looked at it and thought, This is really dense. We have a serious art film here.” Yes, Hal. Thanks for illustrating why I find your films unwatchable!
Cathy! I watched that Baxter movie tonight and now I can'y sleep! I am haunted by the Dog that Thinks.
