- Summary:
- Prolific artist, philosopher, writer, storyteller and 'radical humanist' John Berger is the focus of this vivid four-part cinematic portrait. In 1973, he moved from urban London to the tiny Alpine village of Quincy. The Seasons in Quincy: Four Portraits of John Berger examines different aspects of Berger's life in this remote village in the Alps. In four seasonal chapters, the film combines ideas and motifs from his work with the texture and history of his mountain home. Tilda Swinton, a longtime friend and collaborator, joins Berger for a frank and revealing conversation.
