Synopsis
We already know that Vicente Domínguez is going his own way, or at least that is what Barcos (D’A 2021) announced to us, a film that forever changed what we understand by Spanish “political cinema”. The Four Elements follows that path and adds variations. How can we represent water, fire, air, earth today? Filming the beauty of the world, but knowing that it can no longer be the same. And that we cannot look at it with the same eyes either.
