Storyline
Plot Summary |
"Les quatre vérités" aka "The Four Truths" is a movie anthology that consists of four segments, all loosely parodying fables from the 17th-century French poet Jean de la Fontaine. The US cut usually features only 3 segments. The first segment, "Death and the Woodcutter," about a common organ grinder (street performer who plays a mechanical musical instrument called street organ on the street for a living) who is driven to the edge of sanity by bureaucracy, was cut from the US release for its serious tone. The second story, "The Crow and the Fox," is about a jealous husband who keeps his wife under lock and key since they lives in a town full of single men, but their neighbor is determined to have a cozy visit with her. The third story, "The Tortoise and the Hare," follows a jealous wife who decides to win her adulterous husband back. The final tale, "Two Pigeons," is about a young man and woman who accidentally lock themselves up in a flat and end up falling for each other. |
