Harmony and Me screening with It’s All in the Fingers
Series: New Directors/New Films 2009


Harmony and Me
Bob Byington, USA, 2009; 75m

Bob Byington’s deadpan and hilarious slacker movie for the cell phone generation is straight out of that independent film capital, Austin, Texas, where a voluble young lyricist named Harmony refuses to let go of the heartbreak caused when his girlfriend became his ex. He remains stubbornly unhappy, perhaps for musical inspiration or perhaps that is just the way he is. Although his depression annoys his tough mom, Harmony’s friends, as oddball and eccentric as he, seem perfectly cool with his cultivation of misery.

Starring musician Justin Rice as motor mouth Harmony and Kevin Corrigan as his companion Carlos, Byington’s film presents a goofy portrait of a bright guy and his buddies (women included) running in place.

Those traveling digits get into surprising places in this jocular treat.
