| Summary |
One of Himalayan Buddhism's most revered lamas, Khyentse weaves parallel fable-like tales about two men who seek to escape their mundane lives in TRAVELERS & MAGICIANS. Young government official Dondup dreams of escaping to America while stuck in a ravishingly beautiful but isolated village. Along the way, a perceptive yet mischievous monk tells Dondup a story of another young man who sought a land far away: a tale of lust, jealousy and murder that holds up a mirror to the restless Dondup and his blossoming attraction to the innocent Sonam. TRAVELERS & MAGICIANS is a magical mixture of rustic road movie and mystical fable...a potpourri of desire and its consequences, set in a breathtaking landscape. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival** and the **Venice Film Festival**. *"It's a leisurely yet resonant film that reinforces the power of cinematic storytelling." - Phillip Wuntch, **Dallas Morning News*** |
