'Is satisfying thousand desires better than conquering one?' If you are interested in such questions, the movie is well worth the watch - otherwise you might probably not be able to finish it. It is slow, sort of meditative.. It is philosophical woven over with a running strand of sex - (the commercial angle ?). I liked the way it touched upon the topic of Buddha's deserted wife and son - I had always felt that they lacked the presence in portrayals relating to Buddha's life.

What is important in our life? This film offer another point of view.

I enjoyed it at first but then I realized where it was heading. It's a well directed but simplistic, unidimensional morality movie.

Awesome movie, but way too long :/
