Elusive memories flash in the back of his head. Visualising the people and landscapes as they are there, as casually as they are there, should be a difficult task, just as the protagonist struggled with the writing process. However, the film succeeds in vividly depicting the subtle atmosphere felt only in primary schools and only in junior high school, thanks in part to the fine performances of Watanabe Sayaka and her friends, who brilliantly play everyone from primary schools students to preparatory school students. There are no particularly dramatic episodes, but after watching the film, you will feel nostalgic for all the people in the film.
Director of Photography
Floor of Vanishing was a work Matsuzawa Yutaka presented in a cobblestoned square in Middelburg, the Netherlands square in August 1980, and this video documents the Human Extinction ceremony Matsuzawa performed along with the unfurling of a banner. In this film, Matsuzawa appears highly energetic as he unfolds the pink Banner of Extinction and inscribes on it with a brush: “Humans, Let’s Vanish, Let’s Go, Let’s Go.” The film was shot by Matsuzawa’s eldest daughter Kumiko, who accompanied him on many overseas trips.
