In the midst of the Korean wilderness, a Buddhist principal patiently raises a young boy to grow up in wisdom and compassion, through feel and endless exercises. Once the educatee discovers his sexual lust, he seems lost to wistful life and follows his first honey, just soon fails to adapt to the modern world, gets in jail for a crime of passion and returns to the master in search of spiritual redemption and reconciliation with karma, at a loftier cost of physical catharsis... —KGF Vissers

A Visual Delight
I'thousand constantly amazed by the appearance of some seemingly off-the-wall piece of art that when you view it evokes a stunning effect. The simplicity of this moving picture, its low-key action and pace, its visual surrealistic beauty, all interact to create an emotional impression that is long-lasting and thought-provoking. Korea has been somewhat slower to enter the international cinematic earth and hither is a movie with actors whose names stir picayune or no recognition. For myself, who has enjoyed the Korean films I've seen before, it was a delightful surprise. The film itself is a wonderful tapestry of Korean Buddhist civilization, with quiet visual beauty, unproblematic moral themes and human passions put into a elementary, homespun perspective. The remarkable natural setting which reflects the wide spectrum of Korea'due south seasons, which range from hot, viscid humid-fraught summers to icy, common cold snowfall-spring winters, become a metaphor of life with unadorned figures, completely man in form. The sometime monk becomes a witness to the interplay of homo qualities, without judgment still with a complete and tranquillity moral presence. The foibles of child cruelty is met with a uncomplicated retribution which imparts a lasting lesson. Judgment is always withheld and warnings are given simply. The result of all of this rings long and lasting, much like the impression of a fragile Korean silk print: simple in design with evidently brush strokes and stylized representations of nature-- yet, lasting in impression, often to the bespeak of being unforgettable. I buy few videos and DVDs, preferring to encounter things I really enjoyed again and again. But, I've ordered this one.
