Four Quartets, (T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets)
Synopsis
'Four Quartets' names four landscapes that serve as the basis for four interwoven meditations on the nature of time, faith and the quest for spiritual enlightenment. It is one T.S.Eliots's final great poetic works and its questions, imagery and reflections retain their power and resonance today.
Early in the Covid pandemic Ralph Fiennes set himself the challenge of committing 'Four Quartets' to memory. This cinematic adaptation, filmed shortly after the conclusion of Fiennes original stage production, is an exquisite rendering of Fiennes' tour de force performance, seamlessly transposed from stage to screen, featuring the landscapes in the poem.
