In four corners of the globe, in the four seasons, four outstanding violinists guide us on an extraordinary journey through their four distinct homelands. From the springtime blossoms of Japan, into the blistering heat and thunderstorms of an Australian summer; from a joyful autumn in New York, to the unforgiving cold and human warmth of a Finnish winter. The resonant and much-loved music of Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and the timeless stories they tell, form the backbone to this bold and engaging celebration of friendship, homeland and the cycles of life. "Vibrant and ambitious... rarely do the visual and aural elements of film come together as completely as they do in this sumptuous and very poignant film." Spring is in Tokyo, Summer is in Australia, Fall is in New York City and Winter is in Finnish Lapland, 200 miles from the Arctic Circle. The originality of the film's premise and the fantastic music, scenery and personalities will make you feel like you've just been on four wondrous journeys. Very useful if you didn't get a vacation this year. -SC Also playing on this program: Synopsis from the Filmmaker: Obsessive about David Bowie? No, I wouldn't go that far! Cute short film about David Bowie's #1 Australian fan, who would do anything for the chance to meet (or even talk on the phone with) her idol. -ST |
