Yet the story unfolds in the present age but set within an isolated Buddhist culture that is timeless. The picture was actually filmed (with per- mission) in a protected South Korean wilder- ness. With Buddhist consultants, a floating monastery was constructed under the eye of director KIM Ki-duk, who grew up in Buddhist Korea as a Christian. The her- mitage floats on a pristine lake (actually Jusan Pond) surrounded by wooded moun- tains. Divided into five parts, the film begins in Spring with an Old Monk (OH Young-soo), who is the teaching master of a 7-year-old Child Monk (KIM Jong-ho). In the morning, the two get in a rowboat and paddle to a set of ceremonial doors that open onto a beautiful, untamed land. The child works gathering herbs, while the older monk observes him without being seen and shows him the differ- ence between good herbs and poisonous ones. Other lessons are more difficult and can- not be learned at once but only over time. The boy is mischievous, and his pranks with a fish, a frog and a snake are disrespectful and harmful. While the boy is sleeping, the priest ties a large stone around the boy’s waist. The next morning, the monk takes the boy back to the forest and tells him he must free the ani- mals of the stones he tied to them in play. If any are dead, he says, the boy will carry this stone in his heart for all time. Summer opens with the Boy Monk (SEO Jae-kyung), now 17. A girl his age (HA Yeo- jin) is brought to the Old Monk for healing, and an infatuation grows between the two young people, who consummate their sexual feelings in private places on the land border- ing the lake. But in the monastery itself, when these feelings erupt, the boy monk breaks the sacred trust of his master to act on them. The story follows the fortunes of the young boy and his teacher until they are parted by fate and death. In the final two seg- ments, Winter and Spring, the now mature adult Monk comes full circle to take up the role of master to a young boy who is brought to him by a veiled woman. The part a contemporary Western audi- ence will most relate to is probably the stormy adolescence and early manhood of the boy in Summer and Fall, when he falls far from grace, enters the outer world, is over- taken by his darker emotions and barely finds himself again. The film is an exquisite work on being human yet aspiring to the spiritual that speaks with an involving sensibility. KIM Ki-duk has a sophisticated grasp of story- telling, an artist’s eye and the cinematic artistry to make such a film. None of his other films have shown here, but they include in- ternationally screened festival films Wild Animals (1997), The Isle (1999), Address Unknown (2001) and Bad Guy (2002). For his latest film, Samaritan Girl, he took the di- rector’s award at the 2004 Berlin Film Festival. It’s a pleasure to recommend this lyrical yet simple film, from which certain images are burned into my consciousness. Even though Spring, Summer … is about weighty matters — life and death, god and man, man and woman, gentleness and cruelty, crime and punishment — it also expresses a light- ness of spirit regarding the human experi- ence. Opens Friday at the Bijou. ew
