Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring may arrive cloaked in Buddhist theory but its premise is more Halloween than hallowed.

The impression this movie leaves is profound: Here is an artist who sees things whole.

Although not as gut-wrenching or politically pugnacious as some of his previous work, Kim's film allows a sense of moral renewal unclouded by sentimentality and without blurring his remarkable cinematic idiom.

This is as close to a Zen experience as the movies offer.

Oct 08, 2015This film has an interesting mix of qualities. It is at different times tragic, serene, contemplative, and hopeful. It is staged as if a play in five acts, set in a beautiful natural environ, with acting that is both quiet and cinematic. Recommended to lovers of Eastern cinema.Robert B Super Reviewer

Dec 29, 2011I can't see a single thing about this film that should be improved on or anything. This film has interesting characters, a good story, and great cinematography. The shots of the floating shrine are even more stunning during the night. The film follows the relationship between a young apprentice and a monk. The spring segment shows the apprentice as a young boy of about 11, and he learns about morality. During the summer, the apprentice is an adolescent of about 16/17 and through his experiences with a sick teenage girl who has come to the shrine, he discovers desires which lead him to leave the shrine. In fall, he returns as a young man of about 23, full of angst and anger. He must deal with it and other problems he created for himself in "man's world". In winter, we see the young apprentice as an older man in his late 20s. He displays maturity, understanding, and growth. He begins to assume role of master with his old master no more. When spring arrives, he begins teaching his own apprentice and we see life repeating itself. A marvelous film that must be seen.G S Super Reviewer

Apr 24, 2010Spectacular film. Masterful performances by Jae-Kyung Seo, Jong Ho Kim, Oh Yeong-su. A well-written story full of emotion and tears. A movie that captures the human spirit, dissecting its successes and flaws. One of the best films from 2004 and certainly one of the best I've watched on DVD this year.George K Super Reviewer
