The conversation deepens and more information is shown and discussed as each new dinner course arrives.

Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud's new film Seasons opened on November 25, the perfect time to be thankful for what we love and the beauty in our own lives. Though it takes a while to get there, Seasons is a call to action for viewers to protect the wilderness from decreasing any further. Humans have developed and powerfully pushed against the wilderness. This film asks us to question why we cannot allow nature to rebuild and reclaim places that were cultivated and developed by humans. Seasons is filmed very differently than many other documentaries. There is minimal direction from the narrator (Jacques Perrin) as to what the viewer is looking at. This allows the wilderness, as the subject of the film, to speak for itself in the quiet, yet powerful way it does.
