Product Description:
A tiny Buddhist monastery floats on a raft amidst a breathtaking landscape tended to by a solitaryMonk. Into this serene setting comes a young child who will become the Old Monk's protege... and so begins a lifelong journey of hope despair passion and redemption in a film hailed as "A triumphof sheer cinematic craft" (Rene Rodriguez Miami Herald). From the brash actions of youth through the dawn of adolescence and the fullness of adulthood one man's life lessons are learned as seasons pass his emotional inner life changing as the landscape around him. Award-winning Korean writer/director/editor Kim Ki-duk has crafted a lushly exotic yet universal story about the human spirit and its evolution from Innocence to Love Evil to Enlightenment and ultimately to Rebirth that Elizabeth Weitzman of the New York Daily News calls "A beautifully composed canvas the sort of film one falls into resurfacing at the end with great reluctance."SPECIAL FEATURES: Previews Anamorphic Widescreen Presentation Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 (Korean) English French SubtitlesSystem Requirements:Running Time 103 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: FOREIGN/LATIN Rating: R UPC: 043396041271 Manufacturer No: 04127

Working miracles with only a single set and a handful of characters, Korean director Kim Ki-Duk creates a wise little gem of a movie. As the title suggests, the action takes place in five distinct episodes, but sometimes many years separate the seasons. The setting is a floating monastery in a pristine mountain lake, where an elderly monk teaches a boy the lessons of life--although when the boy grows to manhood, he inevitably must learn a few hard lessons for himself. By the time the story reaches its final sections, you realize you have witnessed the arc of existence--not one person's life, but everyone's. It's as enchanting as a Buddhist fable, but it's not precious; Kim (maker of the notorious The Isle) consistently surprises you with a sex scene or an explosion of black comedy; he also vividly acts in the Winter segment, when the lake around the monastery eerily freezes. --Robert Horton

Movie was cheesy. It was a slow movie (which I enjoy slow movies ),however the speed of the movie was only slow when nothing was happening and rushed to get to a point at other times (inconsistent speed). A film's rate is dependant on the rate of divulging information, plot, character etc.. I think it's supposed to be an artistic film but, I think artistic or not you can't sacrifice important elements and cinematography isn't everything, it certainly can't carry the weight of an entire film. That ... Read More

My rating is really a 3.5 but I will round it up to a 4. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter is a movie worth watching. The cinematography is beautiful throughout. The storyline is interesting and contains some fundamental lessons about life and its cycles. The script is also what fell short for me however. It was a little too simple for my liking. Given the lack of dialogue, or other alternate persuaders, it was difficult for me to believe the young woman was attracted to the young man in the first ... Read More

This is not a typical film, it delves into Buddhist philosophy and can take you to far away places... a good film

A simple yet profound tale of a Buddhist monk and his master will leave you feeling both at peace and befuddled. Its rich tapestry of spiritual metaphors and symbols will keep you captivated and yearning for more as the film draws to a "close."
As the title suggests, there actually is no end, but, rather, a never ending cycle. If you allow it to do so, the wisdom of this natural movie will help sculpt your perspective on life itself. This is a movie that I could watch over and over again, ... Read More

Although the film may have a "cult" following in The States, it was marketed as a major motion picture in Korea. I looked forward to the release of this film for two months, maintaining high hopes and expectations until it released in theaters only to be sorely disappointed.
Even the cinematography, which served as the film's only saving grace, was nice but mediocre at best. I kept waiting for the moment of profound epiphany but alas, no avail. So I watched it again. Yes, I sat through ... Read More
