The story

What Is Hermitage About?

The premise of Hermitage without spoilers.

Described by Bene as “a rehearsal for lenses,” Hermitage draws its narrative from his anti‑novel Credito Italiano V.E.R.D.I. The film experiments with a cinematic language built entirely on the actor’s movements, gestures and presence. Whether camouflaged or naked, still or in motion, the body both performs and is performed, reflecting objective and subjective tensions in a visually metaphorical way.
