Ruins of Roppongi (1992)

Synopsis

An experimental film about the abandoned mansion that once stood in Roppongi. The mansion was originally built as the private residence of the businessman named “Ryoji Oda” [小田良治], but after his death, it was used as the Philippine Embassy. In this film, Sekine focuses his camera on the rotting furniture and a mummified cat, and uses 16mm found footage (the content of which is a documentary of traditional Philippine culture) discovered in the basement.
