The Drop of Stone

1997 · 60 min

A cinepoetry about the demolition of University of Tokyo’s student residence (known as “Komaba-ryo” [駒場寮]) after it was closed down. In this film, Sekine metaphorically depicts the record of the demolition as “passage of time” through some images (many of which evoke “stream”) and the phantom. As a side note, the phantom is played by experimental filmmaker Erice Matsui [松井エリセ]. She ran an art gallery in the place and held independent screenings called “Theatre Moon” [テアトル・ムーン].

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Drop of Stone is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1997. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
