Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom (original title)
*ing: Ki-duk Kim, Yeong-su Oh and Jong-ho Kim
Genre: Drama, Romance
My first ever Korean movie experience ... never have I watched a Korean movie before and I absolutely feel in love with this one. Feeling very encouraged to experiment more of Korean cinema, I think it's time I seriously give some attention to Korean and Japanese movies. Okay ... 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter ... and Spring' is a very simple yet very fascinating tale of a wise monk, his disciple who is brought up by the monk as his son and a lady who brings lust to the young monks life and how the fine balance in the monk's lives change forever. I loved the movie for it's script narration, it's slow but does not bore, not for one moment felt like hitting the fast forward button. Direction is amazing ... trust me ... the moment you watch the movie you will say 'I wanna live in a place like that' or at least 'I wanna visit that place', cinematography is beautiful, the four seasons have been captured well, I personally liked summer and winter ... winter is beautifully captured wearing a white cloak.
If you like movies that move slow yet keep you interested with few dialogues in them and stunning cinematography then this is THE movie to watch. Highly recommended.

The movie is like a spiritual guide for the journey called "life." I loved it. Undoubtedly one of the top best foreign flims.
