There is no film I have seen that was quite like this. It was rather extraordinary.
The film opens with the opening of a doorway, and through this doorway you are brought into another world. A world that exists on the films terms, there is no explanation for anything, it just is. You are much akin to a fly on the wall just lucky enough to be along for the ride, and what a ride....
The film mainly features two characters; a boy, and his master. They live on a floating temple in an isolated lake, training in the ways of a monk. It follows their course through the seasons, learning life's lessons throughout.
There is very little dialogue in the film, but magically, it is hardly needed. Every single shot of this film is strikingly beautiful and tells the story all by itself. I must express that the cinematography here is some of the best I have seen, it was absolutely exquisite! The changing seasons made this even more so, the film actually becomes more beautiful to look at as it develops.
I can assure you that you have most likely never seen a film like this before. I hadn't. More than just watching a film this was like having an otherworldly experience. It is an absolute masterpiece and is actually the best I have ever seen.
You know what to do!
