"Fay Grim" (2006) is a film by writer/director Hal Hartley. The film is a sequel to Hartley's 1997 film "Henry Fool", and revolves around the title character, played by Parker Posey, the sister of Simon Grim (James Urbaniak). The plot revolves around Fay's attempt to unravel an increasingly violent mystery in Europe.

The film is shot almost entirely in Dutch angles, meaning the vast majority of shots are framed diagonally, or "tilted". At the Sundance Film Festival in 2007, Hartley revealed that the two shots in the film's final cut that are not "Dutched" occurred when he and the film crew forgot to tilt the camera.

It premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival, and was released in theaters across America on May 18, 2007, with a DVD release the following Tuesday, May 22, in conjunction with Magnolia Pictures' "day-and-date" release strategy. The MPAA rated "Fay Grim" with an R rating for language and some sexuality.
