I can't accept any negative opinion of this movie. It's not bad, it's great all the way. When it comes to life or destiny of Buddhist monk, this movie is not at all about it (or that is not it's main goal), but instead it tells a story about human psyche, emotions, desires, and guilt. I saw this movie in Belgrade's film festival FEST2004, along with 15 other most prize winning movies of the past year, and it was by far the best one.
If you don't mind the long silences where every frame has it meaning and artistic value you must not miss this movie. And when dialogue appears, it is there with a good reason.
