Entertainment Reviews:
In an angry, noisy world, watching this film is as restorative as a long, cool drink from a lake.
Boston Globe
[A]n idiosyncratic and amazing new film by Michelangelo Frammartino....LE QUATTRO VOLTE packs more life into 88 minutes than movies twice as long, patiently surveying the human and natural landscapes of a remote valley in the southern Italian region of Calabria.
New York Times
Perched between fiction and documentary, LE QUATTRO VOLTE is above all a beautiful and profound evocation of the eternal cycles of life and nature.
Los Angeles Times
[A] deep sense of mystery abides as the film contemplates small-scale regional life and the nature of existence simultaneously -- one of several ways in which the mundane is fused with the expansive.
Film Comment
3.5 stars out of 4 -- The director, Michelangelo Frammartino, has made a serene and beautiful film. Its visuals cover the animal, vegetable and mineral stages in our infinitesimal bit of the universe.
Chicago Sun-Times
3 stars out of 5 -- [There is] a magical sequence in the middle of the film....This simple, deftly orchestrated sight gag is something Jacques Tati would have been proud to put his name to.
Total Film
[T]he film's beauty, wit and charm come as a breath of fresh air.

Product Description:
The constant interaction between humans, animals, plants, and the earth is pondered as a physical process as well as a philosophical allegory in this drama from Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Frammartino. An aging shepherd (Giuseppe Fuda) is watching over his herd of goats on a hilltop in a small village in Calabria. The ailing shepherd uses the floor sweepings from a nearby church as a medicine, but the treatment fails him and he dies alone. As he passes, one of his goats gives birth, and the other goats tend to the new member of the flock. While grazing, the young goat is separated from the herd, and as darkness comes it rests under a tree where it is protected from the elements. Before long, the tree falls victim to a handful of lumberjacks, and it's taken into town, where the tree is stripped of its bark, used as part of a village celebration, and eventually turned into charcoal and used as fuel. LE QUATTRO VOLTE (aka THE FOUR TIMES) received its American premiere at the 2010 New York Film Festival.
