Dir. Errol Morris · Starring Albert Bitterling, Roscoe Collins, George Harris · Music Claude Register
Documentary

Early Errol Morris documentary intersplices random chatter he captured on film of the genuinely eccentric residents of Vernon, Florida. A few examples? The preacher giving a sermon on the definition of the word "Therefore," and the obsessive turkey hunter who speaks reverentially of the "gobblers" he likes to track down and kill.

VIBE

A warm, offbeat, and utterly human look at a small Florida town. It feels like eavesdropping on fascinating conversations, filled with peculiar characters and their unique perspectives on life. A truly delightful and memorable experience.
