The End of the World in Four Seasons Trailers

Complex, short animation film that divides the screen into eight small windows. To the music of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons and with appropriate colours, seasonal stories are told in the small frames. Every now and then, the isolated events cross their borders and the scenes start interacting.

Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
MartinHafer THE END OF THE WORLD IN FOUR SEASONS came up with a wonderful gimmick, though it didn't seem to do much with it. Instead of one story being told at a time, the screen is made up of 8-9 squares in which various stories are occurring at the same time. While this idea worked great in FLATLIFE (2004), here the gimmick just seemed like a gimmick--with very little payoff. I wish that more of the stories in the boxes had intersected and played against each other more. Instead, you just see some simple animations doing,...well,...not much of anything--set to the music of Vivaldi. I kept waiting and hoping but the stories just didn't seem interesting and I was soon bored. A nice idea indifferently executed.
