movie review - Kundun

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1998.02.08

A well-shot but overly overdone flick by Martin Scorcese. It's about the life and times of the Dalai Lama, and is therefore pretty miserable. You'll leave this wondering what you've done with your life.

Recommended.

Illusions commend themselves to us because they save us pain and allow us to enjoy pleasure instead. We must therefore accept it without complaint when they sometimes collide with a bit of reality against which they are dashed to pieces.

—Sigmund Freud
