Movie Reviews of Enlightenment Guaranteed
Movie Review: Inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
After what seems like forever waiting for Enlightenment Guaranteed to become available through Netflix, I finally went online to buy it. I am SO glad I did. This incredibly funny, yet poignant movie goes right to the heart of what zen is about, not so much through dialog and lecturing, but by example played out by the characters. Like her other films, the filmmaker displays her film in ways that can not be mistaken. Great footage of Japanese Monasteries and cities make the confusion of our german protaganists highlighted and totally amusing. I highly recommend this film for those who have ever raised the thought of enlightenment, as well as for those who simply want an enjoyable journey in film.
