A Masterpiece of Colours and Peace..., 24 January 2005
9/10
Author: Khashayar Mortazavi from ,Toronto,Canada

The film can be described as a simple Buddhist fable: simple but multi layers. All the elements play their own symbolic roles; the snake, the fish, the cat and the frog (all living creatures). The issue of reincarnation is central.

The film narrates a personal journey from unawareness and childhood to awakening and maturity. Through the seasons, we are witnessing the flowing nature of life in its pure manifestation: birth,pain,love,despair,death and rebirth.

The dialog are concise.They are short but quite sufficient (Buddhism wisdom does not require a lot of words). The brilliant photography adds the beauty. Casts are in deep connection with the context. I'm interested to know Kim is a director or a monk itself?
