An idyllic village in Italy’s mountainous region of Calabria is the setting for “Le Quattro Volte,” an exquisitely filmed take on the cycles of life.
A.O. Scott of The New York Times writes: “(Its) view of nature is among the most profound, expansive and unsettling I have ever encountered on film. There is virtually no dialogue, yet the film is far from silent: the rustling of trees, the sounds of agricultural labor, the barking of a dog and in particular the cries of goats supply a meaning that transcends words, while Mr. Frammartino’s eye for both comedy and mystery produces compositions that are so strange and memorable that they seem to reinvent the very act of perception.”
This film is part of the library’s Thursday night winter film festival series.
