So, there's this documentary from '89 that dives into the life of Willem Frederik Hermans. It’s directed by Erik Lieshout, though the director's name might not ring any bells. The film's got this intimate, almost reflective tone, as it captures Hermans in various Parisian settings. The pacing feels languid, allowing you to soak in both his words and the atmosphere around him. Thom Hoffman reading Hermans' novels adds depth, bringing his literature to life in a really distinctive way. It’s not flashy, but that’s kind of the point. It’s about the man, his thoughts, and how they resonate in the shadows of Paris. Definitely not your typical documentary fare.
