If you loved Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East?, try Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Theysit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East?, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

A small floating temple on an isolated lake, water lapping against wood. An old monk teaches a young boy, seasons passing in silence. Kim Ki-duk's patience is a perfect match for this serene setting.
