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)!

I occasionally found myself lost in thought and found the film an overall worthwhile experience.

Too slow and contemplative for my tastes. Great visuals. Slow story. The Bodhi-Dharma left for the East because the Westerners got bored!

What can I say about this wonderful little movie? Other than it is a beautiful little slice of life rendered with elegant simplicity and great cinematography that manages to say sooo much with so little... Like a Zen parable...

Meditative, unconventional, and somewhat confusing, but worth the effort.
