Leave your thoughts about Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf.
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Charles MudedeIt must not be seen as the opposite of the natural. Design and the natural, art and the aleatory, must become one. This is in Tarkovsky's films. This is in Oudolf's gardens. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsLike Oudolf, the filmmaker sees the plants first, always, without denying the people or the other built environments around them. |

| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. AddiegoOudolf mentions in passing that his goal has been to create landscapes "you would dream of, but would never find" in nature, and from what we see in this movie, that's just what he's done. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThe simple but elemental joy of plants and planting suffuses this doc about one of the masters of his métier. |
