Quarry

About This Movie

Quarry is an intriguing piece from 1975 that almost feels like a visual poem. I mean, it’s got this surreal quality, where you see these dancers interacting with the boulders, almost like they’re part of the landscape—so enchanting and a bit elusive. There’s a sense of mystery, you know? The pacing is quite unique; it lingers in moments allowing the atmosphere to settle in. The practical effects are understated yet effective, really pulling you into its world. Performances are compelling in their abstraction, offering something different from typical dance or performance films. It's not often you find movies like this that blend movement and stillness in such a peculiar way. Definitely one to ponder.

Quarry is a bit of an obscure gem, with limited releases that make it a sought-after item for collectors. It’s not widely available in mainstream formats, which adds to its allure and scarcity. A few VHS copies have surfaced, but finding a decent condition one is becoming increasingly rare. Interest in this film often spikes among collectors who appreciate the avant-garde style and experimental narrative.
