How Harry Became a Tree is a 2001 drama film directed by Goran Paskaljević.

In rural Ireland, Harry Maloney ('Colm Meany'), believing "a man is measured by his enemies", sets out to ruin George O'Flaherty, who owns the local pub and most of the businesses in the area and is the local matchmaker. When Harry's son Gus(Cillian Murphy), upon whom Harry regularly heaps mental and verbal abuse falls for local girl Eileen, George helps put the two together. Meanwhile, Harry quietly plots.
