Sound motifs and repetition. There are lots of similarities between the theory of film, sound/score and literary.

Dynamics are something I appreciate a lot in music and always try to consider in my work.

I watched Le Quattro Volte a few years ago and remember enjoying it a lot. If I remember I went in mostly blind. The narrative told without dialogue or text-based exposition encouraged the observational format allowing the scenes soundscape to provided the narrative as well as the recurring themes of life, rebirth, the herded goats. I enjoy slow observational cinema and should rewatch it.

We got some goats at the end of the holidays and I have to name one, any suggestions would be welcomed.
