This is a movie with some really good acting and it provides an interesting look at another culture. However I found the screenplay to be poorly developed with very little to set up the story as to time and place, circumstance or the politics of the region. I suppose the very, very slow pace of the movie was an attempt to mimic the pace of monastic life but I actually dozed off in a few places as a result.
