Trust
Trust (1990), Hal Hartley:
I'd never heard of this Hal Hartley guy, but it seems he (and this film) was pretty big in the "indie" scene of the early nineties, back when it was truly independent. The only names that seemed to have survived are yet-to-be-discovered Edie Falco and Martin "Pastor Skip from Saved!" Donovan.
It really has the feel of a film school short--dialogue-driven, human-centered, measuredly-quirky. It's good though, and manages to keep steady for its two hours. It's not fully sustainable, so it drops at times, but it's very good.
