Anybody seen the movie, Travellers & Magicians ?

[Dover]

It's not playing here yet, but looks like a good one. By the same director that made the movie, The Cup, which I really enjoyed.

At the very least it looks like a beautiful and naturally rich escape into the Himalyas to the far away Kingdom of Bhutan. And the little snippets I've heard of the soundtrack will complete the the transformative journey. It's a simple story of a young man who, though surrounded by 'heaven on earth', longs instead to visit America.
The movie becomes a dreamy parable when, at the beginning of his attempted journey he comes upon a monk and a few others who share their wisdom through the telling of a fable (which basically amounts to a "the grass always seems greener on the other side.." type theme).

4. Lol! The funny thing is that Bhutan's grass looks greener to me

than the kind that grows in America. Or at least it looks like a better place to spend two hours! Ironic...

3. Just the music alone gives me goose bumps.

Looks really intersting for the cinematography alone!

Thanks Dover.....:loveya:

5. This looks wonderful.

I'm glad I went browsing on page 2 to find it! Another movie that will probably not play near me; I'll have to look for the DVD.

Thanks!
