Trust - dvd

Hartley makes gritty, humanist films. In TRUST he combines drama and suspense with pertinant observations about work, families and going over the edge. A young man (Donovan) meets a pregnant teenager (Shelly) one the run from home. He has a violent, dictatorial father. Just the same the he takes her home. Everybody gives them a hard time - driving them together and apart. It's all real life stuff, it just happens all at once, like a really bad day. A good choice for a hartley novice to try.
