Opening tonight: Four
Cinema-goers seem to be more interested in true stories and real people now than ever before, which is good news for those who like to tell true stories about real people. One such storyteller is documentary director Tim Slade, whose film Four opens in Brisbane at Dendy George Street tonight.
‘The film is a journey for the audience, a journey through the four corners of the world, that is at once familiar and unknown,’ said Slade. ‘It demonstrates that the timeless rhythms and harmonies of music, and the rhythms and harmonies of life and nature, are one and the same thing.’
Following on from a hit season in Sydney and sold out sessions at the Sydney and Melbourne International Film Festivals, Four is geared to delight Brisbane audiences with what critics have praised in such glowing terms as ‘vibrant and ambitious’, ‘sumptuous and very poignant’, ‘exquisite’, and ‘seamless’.
The film follows four world-class violinists from far-flung locations and backgrounds, one for each season and with Vivaldi’s iconic baroque violin concerto series, The Four Seasons, as an auditory backdrop.
