SPRING, SUMMER, FALL, WINTER... AND SPRING

Acclaimed Director Kim Ki-duk (The Isle) demonstrated again in SPRING, SUMMER, FALL, WINTER . AND SPRING his exceptional talent for relating emotionally complex stories with images of otherworldly beauty. No one is immune to the power of the seasons and their yearly cycle of birth, growth and decay. Not even the two monks who share a hermitage floating on a pond that is surrounded by mountains. As the seasons unfold, every aspect of their lives is infused with an intensity that leads both to greater spirituality - and tragedy. Under the watchful eyes of the Old Monk, a Young Monk experiences the loss of innocence when play turns to cruelty, the awakening of love when a woman enters their closed world, the murderous power of jealousy and obsession, the price of redemption, and the enlightenment of experience.
