Meditative coming-of-age drama by Korean director Kim Ki-duk. The
film, which is divided into five sections to reperesent the stages
of a man's life, is set entirely on and around a remote mountain
lake where a tiny Buddhist monastery floats on a raft amidst the
breathtakingly beautiful landscape. Here an old Buddhist monk (Oh
Young-Su) instructs his young child apprentice (Kim Jong-Ho) in
Buddhist philosophy and shows him how to live in harmony with
nature. But as the boy grows older, he becomes consumed by guilt,
jealousy and sexual longing, and leaves the monastery to pursue his
worldy desires. However, he eventually returns, exhausted and
drained by his experiences, and (now played by the director, Kim
Ki-duk) slowly matures and rebuilds himself to become a teacher
himself. The film won the Audience Award at the 2003 San Sebastian
film festival, among numerous other international awards.
