Le Quattro volte
Directed by Michelangelo Frammartino
2010
Italy
88 minutes

Inspired by Pythagoras’s philosophy of reincarnation – the belief that animal, vegetable, and mineral are ultimately one – Michelangelo Frammartino’s remarkable wordless deliberation traces the rhythms of nature through the daily rituals of goats and their herdsmen in the southern Italian region of Calabria.

“[The film’s] view of nature is among the most profound, expansive, and unsettling I have ever encountered on film. . . . 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.”—New York Times
