The latest marvel from the Oscar-Nominated team behind Winged Migration and Oceans, Seasons traces Europe’s environmental history from the end of the Ice Age through the present day, lavishing particular attention on “the golden age of the forest” that flourished between the dawn of man and the coming of civilization. Moving through the seasons and centuries, the film conjures up a romantic vision of a natural world governed by the cyclical rhythms of light and dark, sun, rain, and snow. Filmed over the course of four years, Seasons is filled with remarkably intimate, visually striking footage of large and small creatures in their natural habitats. Aided by careful editing and a sparse, poetic French-language voice-over, filmmakers Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud skillfully document the complex relationships between man, animal, and nature. A gentle, immersive, and beautifully crafted film with a powerful, and ultimately hopeful conservationist message, Seasons is a gift to nature lovers of all ages.
Director Jacques Perrin & Jacques Cluzaud 2015 France/Germany 97 minutes PG (for thematic elements and related images) DCP
