Movie Reviews of Words of My Perfect Teacher
Movie Review: Great documentary, and great highlight of a teacher!
Summary: 5 Stars
Have viewed this DVD a few times now, and love it every time. Sometimes the students get "in the way", but overall a very good documentary. I simply love Khyentse Norbu's style as a teacher, and his view. Some highlights for me was to see his teachings, and where he studied. I loved the scenes in Bhutan, and the interjection of 9/11, and the viewpoint of the level of agression in the world (viewed through 9/11 and soccer matches in Europe). Thanks for such a good film.
Summary of Words of My Perfect Teacher
A profile (of sorts) of Tibetan teacher and filmmaker Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, director of The Cup and Travellers & Magicians"Funny, brave, illuminating, adventurous." Chronicle Herald
"Thoughtful, surprisingly fast-moving... a memorably quirky look..." Variety
Best Feature Documentary Houston International Film Festival
Best Foreign Film Rhode Island International Film Festival
From the World Cup in Germany to the remote Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan, three students are on a quest they hope will lead to wisdom. The catch is ... the teacher. Soccer obsessed, charismatic filmmaker, and citizen of the world, Khyentse Norbu may be one of the world s most eminent Tibetan Buddhist teachers, but it's a job description he slyly seems to reject at every turn.
Featuring appearances by Bernardo Bertolucci and Steven Seagal
Filmed in the UK, Bhutan, Canada, the US, and Germany.
Music by Sting, Tara Slone & Joy Drop, Steve Tibbets, U.Man.Tek, Kunga 19, and others
