Review of Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East? (1989) by Zach L — 21 Jun 2008
Well, its beautiful, and considering the fact that I know nothing about Zen Buddhism, this film does a really good job of providing a vehicle for meditation - in the theatre. The film is itself a Koan, or riddle, which will take me many viewings (and years) to more than halfway understand.
Beautiful but among the slowest movies you will ever see. Less happens here than in Dreyer's Gertrud (and thats just fine)!
