Vernon, Florida

Errol Morris hit on something special in this 1981 film (only his second). Possibly, the least-known of his films, it’s the quiet portrait of an odd Southern town. The film is as leisurely as a humid Florida afternoon, and perfect for the subject matter. The townspeople are eccentric without being a joke. They speak for themselves with no explanations, voiceover or narration. Vernon, Florida is a powerful portrait of a unique place by a gifted filmmaker.
