Thank you so much for sharing this. I was a huge Hal Hartley fan back in the day (I wish more people would remember him when talking about 90s cinema!) and it was a dream come true when he worked with Polly. This is such a lovely, thoughtful insight into their process of working together. It’s been a while since I watched The Book of Life, so I’m going to dig it out tonight!

Here's the trailer for Hal Hartley's film "Amateur" that uses Water and started the chain of events that led to Polly being in Book of Life.

It's an everyday kind of boy meets girl story:
"Isabelle is an ex-nun waiting for her special mission from God. In the meantime, she is making a living writing pornography. She meets Thomas, a sweet, confused amnesiac who cannot remember that he used to be a vicious pornographer, ..."

just noticed something in her pjharvey.net biog https://pjharvey.net/biog/

Quote:
As an actor, Harvey appeared in the 1990 film, Lost in the Stars and as Mary Magdalene in Hal Hartley’s movie ‘The Book of Life’ in 1998. She also had a cameo appearance in Sarah Miles’ 1999 film, ‘A Bunny Girl’s Tale’.


bit of a mix up? I can't find any details of this at all..

I noticed that too, I remember looking for it. I never found anything relating to this anywhere either.

I think whoever wrote the bio meant the September Songs film (1994) there—Lost in the Stars (1990) was also a Kurt Weill tribute project but Polly didn’t take part in it (Marianne Faithfull sang “Ballad of the Soldier’s Wife” on that one).

The biog desn't mention "September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill" from 1994 (the full movie is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ygp9rK_p3E&t=1536s, PJ's performance is at 21:42, it's a fairly known PJ cover song, and i did watch the isolated clip more than once in the past) at all, so there's a good chance the writer did indeed mistake the "Lost in the Stars" tribute album for the movie PJ starred in, but this opens the question on where he/she found the 1990 date, since youtube, google and wikipedia state that the "Lost in the Stars" tribute album was released in 1985.

As for an actual "Lost in the Stars" 1990 movie, google only brings up a chinese 2022 movie, a soviet 1974 one and a 1960 french play; IMDb says nothing at all about it ( really weird, that's a site that has many unknown movies!), so it's either an hyper-obscure local film no one has ever heard about or , probably, it never existed.
