Fulfills the promise of its title: It's transporting, it's magical.
Shangri-La is in your own backyard.
Mainly notable for its exoticism and gorgeous scenery.
As he did in "The Cup," Mr. Norbu provides a lot of ingratiating comic moments. His Buddhism is the laughing, playful kind, and does not ask the Western audience - for whom the film is clearly intended - to deal with any uncomfortably complex religious issues.
A film within a film encapsulated by a clever and very accurate anti-materialistic Buddhist morality lesson, Travellers and Magicians feels a bit like Chaucer's Canterbury Tales as retold by Siddhartha.
Unsurprising tribute to the sweetness of rural dwellers.
