Journey to the West

"Journey to the West" is a meditative and visually stunning film that follows a Buddhist monk as he slowly walks through the bustling streets of Marseille, France. Shot in long, uninterrupted sequences, the film invites the audience to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the everyday. The monk's deliberate pace serves as a contrast to the fast-paced world around him, and the film's use of light and shadow creates a dreamlike atmosphere. As the monk moves through the city, he is followed by a famous French actor, Denis Lavant, who mirrors his movements with precision and grace. The film is a poetic reflection on the nature of time and perception, and it challenges viewers to reconsider their relationship with their surroundings.
