South Stone

About This Movie

South Stone is a fascinating slice-of-life documentary that immerses you in a seemingly forgotten village. The directors, probably unknown, manage to capture the raw essence of this abandoned community. There's a real sense of isolation, yet an independent spirit that pulses throughout the film. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to absorb the unique rhythms of life there. Ju and the other resident’s performances bring a touching authenticity, as they navigate their existence amidst remnants of the past. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia, and the practical effects of nature reclaiming the space create a haunting beauty. It’s a film that invites you to reflect on community and resilience in the face of obscurity.
