I rented this movie about 8 years ago and fell in love with the story. It is the cycle of life all men and women fall into. The four stages of life and the pit falls created by our nature and the cause of all suffering, desire. The scenes have no equal in beauty and the eye of the camera looks at things from many angles and this actually makes the story interesting because you are not just getting a single point of view. You are drawn into liking, hating and feeling sorry for each and every character in the story. Everybody is a good guy and a bad guy at some point in this story and I have never experienced this emotional turmoil in a movie before or since.
Very beautiful and contemplative film. Very little dialogue. Beautiful scenery. Touching human story. Heavy Buddhist themes. I show it in my class when I teach about Buddhism.

The product was sealed and new! Quite surprised. I enjoyed the movie a lot too. It isn't something one would pick up and watch unless they are seeking to watch it. I was recommended the movie and needed to watch it.

This movie depicts the human experience in a simple, yet greatly profound, manner. Although the story is about a buddhist man and the choices he makes throughout his youth and up until his old age; it could be about any one, of any faith. We all face moments of truth and decision as we walk through the seasons of our lives, this movie portrays those moments beautifully. This movie has made it to my "view again and again" list. Highest Recommendations.
