I went to this movie with great hopes. Knowing it was written by a zen student, I too a zen student looked forward. I was not disappointed. Some cliché and old myths run by, yet the creativity and NOIR style of the film was excellent. It was very funny as well. My concern is that the film may best be appreciated by those in the know on zen only. But I have recommended this film to every 'spiritual' person I know. Dealing with the notion of death and change is not an easy thing, but this film deals with these issues in an amusing, enjoyable, yet penetratingly deep fashion. The inclusion of Kim Chan is a stroke of genius. He's great as the old zen master.
