Unlucky Dialect


The film Trust is a work of the Theater of the Absurd. It focuses largely on the idea of existentialism, expressing what happens when human existence has no meaning causing all communication to break down.

In Hartleys film the dialect between characters is spoken with little or no feeling behind the words. On top of this the exchange of words are often brief and rapidly fired back and fourth between the participants of the conversation. From this style of dialect Trust has shown that a majority of communication amongst the character has broken down or is non existent. Hartley has really pulled off a masterpiece, undeniable even just by looking at the films conversation.

  1. I agree, it is very interesting how Hartley plays dialect into the movie and how it expresses little meaning behind it. It provides a more powerful affect to the film.

  2. I also noticed that it has the same emotional language that Meursault has in the entire book as he doesn't react to anything.
