RIP, Adrienne Shelly

For more clips like this, and a most enjoyable guide to pop culture, visit the blog for the NYC cult cable-access show Media Funhouse, located here: www.mediafunhouse.blogspot.com As a small tribute to the utterly adorable indie actress and filmmaker, I include two bits from Hal Hartley's odd and charming little short "Opera No. 1" in which Adrienne plays a roller-skating angel (alongside Parker Posey) who bewitches James Urbaniak (the onscreen performers are lip-synching their songs). These bits frame the opening sequence and the bit that gives the film "Trust" (1990) its title.
