The Passage Clock: For Walter Benjamin is this intriguing blend of documentary and homage, pulling us into the world of Benjamin, who was escaping fascism in the 1930s. It's got this haunting atmosphere, with an almost dreamlike quality that feels very much like Chris Marker’s work. The pacing can be meditative, allowing viewers to ponder the relationship between time and memory as Benjamin navigates the Biblioteque Nacional in Paris. There's a palpable sense of nostalgia and loss peppered throughout, as well as a reflection on the role of literature and art in troubled times. The practical effects are minimal but effective, adding to the film’s unique texture. It’s a thoughtful piece that resonates with anyone who appreciates the nuances of exile and artistic creation.
