知の解放 知の冒険 知の祝祭 東京大学 学問の過去・現在・未来

Overview

A university PR film produced on the occasion of film critic Shigehiko Hasumi’s appointment as president of the University of Tokyo. Natsume Sōseki’s Sanshirō, from which the Sanshirō Pond on the Hongo campus takes its name, intricately intersects with the contemporary university space. Scattered throughout are diverse cinematic techniques and motifs, while the enigmatic smile of a woman with a parasol lures viewers into a strange and uncanny world.
