''Le Quattro Volte'' () is an Italian film, made in 2010, about life in the remote mountain town of Caulonia, in southern Italy.〔British Film Institute. ''Le Quattro Volte + Q&A. Director Michelangelo Frammartino talks about Le Quattro Volte'' BFI Live (BFI video )〕〔''Le Quattro Volte, Michelangelo Frammartino, 88 mins, U''. Jonathan Romney. The Independent on Sunday. 29 May 2011. (Review in The Independent on Sunday )〕 ==Plot== The film comprises four phases or 'turns' following Pythagoras. The turning of the phases occurs in Calabria where Pythagoras had his sect in Crotone. Pythagoras claimed he had lived four lives and this with his notion of metempsychosis is the structure of the film showing one phase and then turning into another phase. A famous anecdote is that Pythagoras heard the cry of his dead friend in the bark of a dog.〔Diogenes Laërtius, viii. 36〕 * The first turn is the human realm and is about an old goatherd who is quite sick and who takes medicine made from the dust from the church floor in water at night. This phase includes a long 8-minute shot of the procession of the villagers culminating in the dog and truck episode so the goats occupy the village. * The second turn is the animal realm and is a study of a young goat, from its birth onwards. * The third turn is the plant realm and is a study of a fir tree. Eventually the tree is chopped down to be displayed in the town square and an evocation of cultural memory. * The fourth turn shows the mineral realm as the tree is made into charcoal for the townspeople's fires. This phase, as charcoal is not a mineral in any modern definitions, points to a remembering of bio-cultural processes. The fire and smoke point to carbon at the heart of the homes in the village delivered by the truck evoking human reason as the final understanding of the interaction of these turns and the true place of the human in the scheme of things. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Le Quattro Volte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
