Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring). 2003. South Korea. Directed by Kim Ki-Duk. Screenplay by Kim Ki-Duk. With Yeong-su Oh, Kim Ki-Duk, Young-min Kim, Jae-kyeong Seo, Yeo-jin Ha, Jong-ho Kim, Jung-young Kim, Dae-han Ji. This film, Kim's best known in America, is set in a small Buddhist temple in the middle of a secluded and ravishingly beautiful lake. There live an old monk and his young charge, a boy barely of school age who learns the secrets and lessons of the world around him. As the seasons change, the boy matures into adolescence and adulthood. The film never leaves the floating monastery and its breathtaking vistas, yet its seemingly hermetic world is a window onto life's mysteries. In Korean; English subtitles
