The Seasons is a fascinating exploration of Armenian shepherd life, blending stunning visuals with the rhythmic undertones of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Peleshian’s unique editing style creates a poetic flow that resonates with the natural world, interweaving moments of toil and tranquility. The pacing feels meditative, drawing you into the lives of the shepherds while reflecting on the larger themes of human existence in harmony with nature. Mikhail Vartanov's cinematography is striking, capturing the stark beauty of the landscapes. The film’s essay format allows space for contemplation, making it distinct in how it evokes emotion through imagery rather than dialogue. It’s one of those rare documentaries that feels more like a visual symphony than a straightforward narrative.
