In places funny, in others sad, nothing much really happens in "Le Quattro Volte". This unconventional, detached film lacks any real dialogue or characters, relying instead on atmospherics to convey the episodes and customs of the nice yet scarcely beautiful/romantic rural Calabrian village.
The fascinating charcoal-making scene at the end brings to mind the bell-making sequence of 'Andrei Rublev'.
The director's is quite the original and naturalistic vision; can't help but think that this film would have impressed more via a projection on 35mm rather than beta digital video.
