Watched Samsara directed by Pan Nalin. It is shot in Ladhakh and is the story of a Budhist monk who is tempted to live a normal family life. Set in the backdrop of Ladhakh, it has stunning visuals, a simple yet profound story, very good performances by the cast, comparitively lesser dialogues and great appeal. It is in Tibetan and being in Belgium, the subtitles were in French and Dutch. Still didn't miss much. The only problem I felt was a couple of times I wondered why the director prolonged a scene, especially the sex ones as they weren't contributing anything to the storyline. It felt like watching a porn-video then. But well every director has his own style.
A must see.
Just a small question: Is a set of all sets which are not members of itself a member of itself?(Russel's paradox) :-) Wednesday, June 12, 2002
