I Would Rather Be a Stone

About This Movie

I Would Rather Be a Stone is a layered piece that marries the tangible with the intangible. Ana Hušman's approach is refreshingly meditative; she captures the quiet conversations between the living and the inanimate in a way that feels almost poetic. The pacing ebbs and flows, allowing the viewer to sit with the scenery and absorb the fragmented narratives that emerge. It's not just about observation; it’s an exploration of memory and loss, of how stories can dissolve yet remain. The visuals are striking, a beautiful blend of stark landscapes and intimate portraits, and there’s a subtle homage to female experiences that runs throughout. It's distinct, almost hypnotic in its delivery, and certainly not your conventional documentary.
