Immersion not Documentry

This film is more about immersion than a traditional documentary. There is very little narrative during the entire showing, and very little sound at times. I would even go so far as to not call this a documentary at all. Instead it gives you a chance to truly experience a small part of what the monks live every day. It is very slow and it can get be easy to get distracted at times. But for those who can truly immerse themselves in it this is a wonderful and intimate look into a life most people can not fathom.

Good flick

Good flick, but you have to be in the appropriate mood for a prolonged meditative movie

Amazing Imagery of an Ancient Life

You are magically transferred to a place that is timeless in both it's physical and spiritual beauty. One becomes more and more immersed as the film progresses, unable to pull yourself away. There is a feeling of seeing something quite reverent - something that has been so carefully concealed from the world - that you feel a certain priviledge to experinece it now. A truly incredible account of a secret and humble life.
