Documentary
The Antiquities of Rome
7.2/ 10
November 21, 1989
1h 45m
Overview
A structuralist work composed of static, long-duration shots of Roman ruins and architectural details, all filmed on Super 8. The film operates without a traditional narrative or dialogue, relying on fixed compositions to document the interplay of light and shadow across ancient stone. By framing monuments through windows and doorways, Jean-Claude Rousseau explores the relationship between historical space and the act of observation.
Director: Jean-Claude Rousseau
