Antiquités de Rome (Les)

Each place, monument, room has a specific geography, a distinctive light.
The film’s three sections are each represented by a distinctive feature: a circle for the rotunda, a triangle for the Pyramid, a square for the Forum. These shapes playfully weave their way throughout the film, evidence of similarities and disparities…
