le Quattro volte

For an art film with no dialog, this film is very watchable. Little scenes of almost no significance slowly add up to express a larger story? event? It's hard to say. A real story isn't told, but I felt flashes of recognition all through the film as the various events aligned.

The film is surprisingly emotional. After dozens of slows shots of a goat herder leaving his home, his death is implied by a long shot of the herder's home, and the herder's dog barking at anyone who goes by.

I would love to see a long form narrative told like this.
