The Seasons

The last work by renowned director Artavazd Peleshian, in collaboration with cinematographer Mikhail Vartanov, is a compelling film-essay that delves into the lives of Armenia's shepherds and their complex relationship with nature. Through breathtaking visuals and intimate portrayals of these hardworking individuals, the movie explores the paradoxical balance between human intervention and natural harmony. Accompanied by Vivaldi's timeless Four Seasons, the film is a poetic meditation on the intricate ties between people and their environment. It's an evocative and thought-provoking journey that showcases Peleshian and Vartanov's masterful storytelling through the lens of nature and rural life.
