Actors :Giuseppe Fuda,Bruno Timpano,Nazareno TimpanoAn 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. Structured in four parts, per its title ("four times"), it opens with a shepherd tending his herd of goats, then shifts focus to one goat in particular, the tree under which he seeks shelter, and the industrialized fate of that plant. 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." -- (C) Lorber

New Review For Movie The Four Times (Le Quattro Volte)
The God's-eye view becomes mesmerizing when we stop insisting that the film flatter us and just enjoy a quiet ride on the cycle.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch I drifted pleasantly in its depths.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times Le Quattro Volte may sound like art-house tedium, but in fact it's a movie of grave beauty, serene pace and surprising humor.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle Give Le Quattro Volte the patience it deserves, and you will be captivated by its stately rhythms, transfixed by its strange imagery, and moved by its sudden dramas. Don't, and you'll be bored to tears.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail If Dante hadn't already made classic use of the title, Michelangelo Frammartino's Le Quattro Volte could instead have been called The Divine Comedy.
Peter Howell-Toronto Star Explaining it makes it sound aridly abstract, but watching it is pure delight...
Trevor Johnston-Time Out It's both an embrace of the comfort of ritual and certainly and acknowledgement of the magic of the unexpected and the accidental bringing change to routine.
Sean Axmaker-Turner Classic Movies Online Whose images of everyday life in the sticks makes for hypnotic viewing.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews A quiet, meditative, and spiritual Italian film about the transmigration of the soul.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice The film's apparent simplicity is, in large measure, its charm and its universal appeal.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle Le Quattro Volte is cinematic slow food. It takes its time, is meticulous in its presentation, carefully considers the experience it provides, and then serves up a satisfying and nourishing feast.
Beth Accomando-KPBS.org Yes, at times, this quiet, meditative film is lovely. At other times, it's just plain tiresome. There's an actual shot of dust particles.
Clint O'Connor-Cleveland Plain Dealer An intriguing, somewhat maddening intellectual puzzle film and then a hypnotic illustration of an ambiguous, unsettling thesis.
Eugene Novikov-eFilmCritic.com Frammartino's seductive little film is poised halfway between doctored doc and artfully spare narrative.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express It's an odd little film, to be sure, but it does a nice job of exploring the ways in which all life is eventually connected.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman If you succumb to these charms, I guarantee walking out of the theatre into the noisy city will be a jarring sensory overload experience.
Jim Slotek-Jam! Movies It's a lovely piece of cinema with a striking visual sensibility, a sly sense of humour and a terrific cast of human and animal actors.
Norman Wilner-NOW Toronto Frammartino's idyll of mystic metempsychosis batters down the boundary fence between tradition and modernity, pagan and Christian, documentary and fiction.
Anton Bitel-Film4 If you can separate yourself from the buzz of higher-pitch cinema, the film's beauty, wit and charm come as a breath of fresh air.
Nick Bradshaw-Sight and Sound It is an essay, a cinematic poem, a spiritual exploration of time and space, and it's designed to make us think and feel about the world around us and our place in it.
Philip French-Guardian [UK] Beautifully shot and featuring some highly impressive animal wrangling, Le Quattro Volte is a bizarre arthouse film that's thought-provoking, surprisingly moving and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny.

Movie Overview For The Four Times (Le Quattro Volte)
In the backcountry of southern Italy’s mountainous region of Calabria, an old shepherd leads his flock to pasture along paths in the hills which have fallen into disuse. Every morning, the church housekeeper trades a handful of the church’s dust for some of the shepherd’s fresh milk. Every evening, the elderly shepherd dissolves the "magic" powder in water and drinks this mixture to remedy his aches and pains. One day, he doesn’t show up for their trade. The next day, he dies in his bed as his goats keep vigil over his passing. A kid takes its first steps, but he is slower than the rest of the flock and falls behind. He falls into a ditch in the middle of the forest. Unable to climb out, he bleats for help, but neither the new shepherd, nor his dog, hear him. When he finally emerges from the ditch, he finds that he is alone. He wanders aimlessly until, as night begins to fall, he stumbles onto a majestic fir tree in which he seeks shelter.
