Homage

About This Movie

So, 'Homage' is this interesting UCLA student film from 1980. It vibes with the poetic rawness of the late '70s and early '80s independent scene. The film dramatizes Anaïs Nin’s diaries during her affair with Henry and June Miller in Paris, which gives it a very intimate and almost dreamlike quality. You really feel the tension and passion of that era; the performances have this subtle depth that captures the essence of their complicated relationships. It's not flashy—no extravagant effects or high budgets—but the atmosphere is rich, almost like a watercolor painting of their lives. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments to breathe, which can be a double-edged sword depending on your taste, but it does enhance the emotional weight.
