The Seasons In Quincy - Four Portraits Of John Berge

The Seasons in Quincy is the result of a five-year project by Tilda Swinton and Colin MacCabe to produce a portrait of this fascinating figure and celebrate his ideas, his art and the man himself. The four essay films that comprise The Seasons in Quincy combine different aspects of Berger s life in the Haute-Savoie with ideas and motifs from his work amid the reflective atmosphere of his mountain home. Each film was created as an individual work of art but viewed together form a beautifully paced and meditative feature-length documentary that demonstrates how film can move beyond text and art to offer a multi-faceted and multi-layered portrait of an extraordinary human being.
