Movie Reviews of Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy
Movie Review: A tedious documentary from the '70's and definitely not Tibet
Summary: 1 Stars
Two things they don't bother to tell you is that this intensely boring doc was made in the mid '70's and feels like it, plus not a frame of it was actually shot in Tibet. Isn't this totally misleading?
The film was shortened from its original 4 hour length which further contributes to its vacuousness and lack of direction. Maybe some feel that the torpor induced by this film is akin to a meditative trance.
I felt ripped off by buying this film as it represents itself as something very different. The few positive reviews are from 30 years ago. Buyer beware, unless you wish to be bored into another dimension.
Summary of Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy
The Internationally Acclaimed Classic-- Now available on DVD for the first time, this documentary was hailed as a masterpiece following its first release in 1979. Digitally re-mastered, with new material and a new commentary, Tibet: A Buddhist Trilogy takes you on an intimate journey deep into the heart of an ancient Buddhist world. Four years in the making and hailed as a cinematic masterpiece in 1979, writer/director Graham Coleman's three-part feature has been unseen for over 20 years. Now, the film has been reworked into a single presentation, complete with digital restoration of the original material and new commentary. Part 1 is an intimate portrait of the Dalai Lama as a spiritual and temporal leader. Part 2 journeys deep into the mystical inner world of monastic life and presents an authentic revelation of tantric Buddhism, with commentaries by the great 20th century master Dudjom Rinpoche. Part 3, photographed in the awesome landscapes of Ladakh, is a meditation on impermanence and the depiction of the monastery's moving ritual response to a death in the community. DVD Extras: An interview with Graham Coleman (Writer & Director) and David Lascelles (Producer) Plus a complete stereo recording of A Beautiful Ornament the protective ritual which forms the heart of Part II of the Trilogy.Documentary DVD Video
