Ned Rifle

Ned Rifle is a thought-provoking film directed by renowned American filmmaker Hal Hartley. Released in 2014, the movie serves as the concluding chapter of Hartley's Henry Fool trilogy, following the films "Henry Fool" (1997) and "Fay Grim" (2006). Delving into the themes of redemption, morality, and family dynamics, Ned Rifle provides a captivating and intense viewing experience.

The movie centers around the eponymous character of Ned Rifle, portrayed by Liam Aiken. Ned is the son of the infamous poet Henry Fool (portrayed by Thomas Jay Ryan) and the troubled Fay Grim (portrayed by Parker Posey). Ned grew up without the guidance of his father, who has since been in prison.

Now a young adult, Ned is determined to seek revenge on his father for the chaos he believes Henry has caused in their lives. Armed with a revolver, Ned sets out on a journey to find Henry and, ultimately, kill him. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when he encounters Susan (portrayed by Aubrey Plaza), a beautiful and mysterious woman who becomes entangled in his quest for revenge.

As Ned navigates through a web of personal and familial responsibilities, the movie creates a stark contrast between his rigid moral code and the murky reality of the world he finds himself in. Along his journey, Ned encounters various intriguing characters, including Martin (played by Martin Donovan), a former lover of Fay Grim and a friend of Henry.

Hal Hartley's stylish and introspective direction infuses Ned Rifle with a distinct aesthetic and a dry sense of humor. The film seamlessly combines moments of intense drama and emotional depth with touches of dark comedy. Hartley's intelligent and sharp dialogue further enhances the captivating narrative.

The performances of the cast contribute greatly to the film's impact. Liam Aiken delivers a compelling portrayal of Ned, capturing the character's deep-rooted anger and moral conflict. Aubrey Plaza shines as Susan, presenting a complex and enigmatic persona that leaves viewers questioning her true motives.

Parker Posey brings depth and vulnerability to the role of Fay Grim, a woman burdened by her past and struggling to find her place in the world. Thomas Jay Ryan's performance as Henry Fool is both enigmatic and charismatic, depicting a flawed yet captivating figure.

Ned Rifle utilizes its atmospheric soundtrack to heighten the emotional impact of the story. The film features an original score composed by Hartley himself, creating an evocative backdrop that enhances the tone and tension of each scene. The music perfectly complements the narrative, adding a layer of introspection to the already complex storyline.
