The Four Times

In "The Four Times", Michelangelo Frammartino crafts a mesmerizing and contemplative meditation on life's cycles, exploring the interconnectedness of human experience through four distinct realms: the human, animal, plant, and mineral. Set against the stunning backdrop of Calabria, Italy, this enigmatic film follows an old shepherd as he grapples with mortality, tracing the threads that weave his existence together. Through a series of evocative vignettes, Frammartino masterfully illuminates the intricate web of life, where birth and death, transformation and renewal, are inextricably linked.
