Four Quartets
Dir: Sophie Fiennes
84min
FRIDAY APRIL 7TH 3PM
TICKETS

Compelling, moving and symphonic, Four Quartets offers four interwoven meditations on the nature of time, memory, experience and the quest for spiritual enlightenment. Ralph Fiennes’ exquisite performance of T.S. Eliot’s poetic masterpiece is translated from stage to screen by director Sophie Fiennes. The poem itself bears powerful relevance to now. Ralph Fiennes’s distinguished stage work is matched by performances in some of the greatest films of our time. This beautiful and poignant film marks an exceptional addition to his work on both stage and screen.

“Four Quartets is something that’s been floating in and out of my awareness over the years…I’ve known it since I was quite young as we had the T.S. Eliot vinyl recording. In the first lockdown I gave myself little things to engage my mind and memory, and I thought I’d learn Four Quartets. And then various things I thought I’d do in the early part of that year went away—films and so on—and this sort of transitioned. Could Four Quartets be put in a context where it was not just recited, but given an appropriately judged theatrical context?”-Ralph Fiennes
