Cycle of life

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (2003)

Written and directed by Kim Ki-duk this film stars Oh Yeong-su, Kim Young-min and Seo Jae-kyung. We follow the life of a Buddhist monk through the seasons in different years of his life.

I found this film to be fairly slow moving and while it is filled with Buddhist iconography as well as themes it did bore me a little. There is plenty to take from this film but it never really connected with me. The natural setting provides a great back drop for the film and is excellently shot.


4/5
