Hal Hartley on Richard Lester and "A Hard Day's Night"

From my interview with Hartley: the indie icon talks about how his brilliantly terse and amusing dialogue was influenced by the famous ad agency scene in A Hard Day's Night.

Hal discussed how he feels artists have "conversations" in their work with their influences, so sit back and enjoy this "chat" between Hal and the legendary Jean-Luc.
