Hommage à Vernon is an intriguing piece that delves into the creative process behind Straub-Huillet's Der Tod des Empedokles. The film feels like a contemplative stroll through the editing room—fragments and outtakes that are raw yet captivating. There's an almost meditative pace to it, forcing you to engage with the material in a way that fully appreciates the nuance of their filmmaking style. Themes of mortality and existential inquiry hover quietly, giving the viewer space to ponder. You can really sense the meticulous craftsmanship and the dedication they had to their art. The practical effects are minimal, relying more on the power of suggestion and the interplay of light and shadow. It's not flashy, but there's a certain depth to its simplicity that makes it distinctive.
