    • Goofs
      When the woman is pushed in the water and climbs on the boat, she has lost her shoes. When she returns to the platform after the romantic encounter, she has her shoes on again.
    • Quotes

      Old Monk: Didn't you know beforehand how the world of men is? Sometimes we have to let go of the things we like. What you like, others will also like."

    • Alternate versions
      The local Korean version of this film is approximately 90 seconds longer than the International release; a sequence was removed near the end of the film (at about the 100-minute point). This is reflected in the DVD releases, as the Tartan R2 (UK) release and the Columbia/Tristar R1 (USA) release use the International cut of the film, while the Bitwin R3 (Korean) DVD uses the original cut.

    understated beautiful contemplative
    a film of about the cycles of life, about solitude and love, innocence, corruption and redemption. stunning cinematography. lots of allusions and metaphors, as you might expect from Korean cinema. contemplative.

    the story appears to centre on the life of buddhist monks living on a floating house, but as the film progresses, one sees that this is a film about the constancy within change and renewal. The female characters are not the most positive roles, representing corruption and temptation, tho also providing the means for renewal.

    There are some memorable scenes not least the house in winter and the knife writing scene, this is not for those seeking martial arts action,

    personally i found it slipped into one of favourite films list.
