Summary: An idyllic village in Italy’s mountainous region of Calabria is the setting for “Le quattro volte,” an exquisitely filmed take on the cycles of life. Structured in four parts, per its title (“four times”), it opens with a shepherd tending his herd of goats, then shifts focus to one goat in particular, the tree under which he seeks shelter, and the industrialized fate of that plant.
