Wheel of Time is acclaimed filmmaker Werner Herzog's (Grizzly Man, Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Fitzcarraldo) gorgeously photographed look at the largest Buddhist ritual in Bodh Gaya, India. It is said that Buddha found enlightenment under a tree in Bodh Gaya and today, Buddhist monks are ordained in this holy place. Herzog magically captures the lengthy pilgrimage (which for some, is over 3,000 miles), the monk's creation of the beautiful and intricate sand mandala (the wheel of time) along with many secret rituals that have never been seen before on film. He delivers a personal and introspective look at what Buddhism really means to its most ardent followers, as well as giving outsiders an intimate look into a fascinating way of life.
Wheel of Time was an incredible movie! Both Thupten Tsering and The Dalai Lama (XIV) were amazing! The great cast includes Thupten Tsering, The Dalai Lama (XIV), Mattieu Ricard, Takna Jigme Sangpo.
One thousand years ago, all manner of evil creatures beset Earth. Only high priest Ozuno could control the guardian demon Zenki and protect the world. Fearful that no one would ever be able to handle the destructive Zenki, he sealed the creature in a stone monument before passing away. In modern day, a young priestess named Chiaki Ozuno uncovers the monument. Strange demonic objects known as the Seeds of Evil have been appearing once again, and with them come doom for all mankind. Chiaki's only chance is to summon Zenki, and unleash his devastating power on the evil forces. Will she be able to control him, or will Earth's salvation spell her destruction?
I think Chisa Yokoyama and Minami Takayama worked wonderful in Zenki - Saga 1. The great supporting cast includes Chisa Yokoyama, Minami Takayama, Akemi Okamura, Ikue Ootani, Yji Ueda.
