Le Quattro Volte

Italy

Very affecting study of an aging goatherd who lives in a mountain village, his flock and the culture going on around him. It was difficult to tell how much of this was staged...some of the footage was extraordinary. Regardless, it gave an interesting and informative portrait of a lifestyle that was in part medieval in part modern.

This would make a nice companion piece to The Tree of Wooden Clogs.
