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.
For they, too, are unable to escape the pull of life,
the longings, sufferings and passions that take hold
of each and every one of us. 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… the enlightenment of
experience. Just as the seasons will continue to alternate
until the end of time, so will the hermitage always
remain a home for the spirit, hovering between now and
forever…
Kim Ki-duk, director of such critically acclaimed films
as "The Isle" (Venice, 1999) and "Bad
Guy" (Berlinale, 2002), demonstrates his exceptional
talent for relating emotionally complex stories with
images of otherworldly beauty
