The two men embark on parallel, if separate, journeys. Their yearning is a common one--for a better and different life. Dondup, delayed by the timeless pace of his village, is forced to hitchhike through the beautiful wild countryside of Bhutan to reach his goal. He shares the road with a monk, an apple seller, a papermaker and his beautiful young daughter, Sonam. Throughout the journey, the perceptive yet mischievous monk relates the story of Tashi. It is a mystical fable of lust, jealousy and murder, that holds up a mirror to the restless Dondup, and his blossoming attraction to the innocent Sonam. The cataclysmic conclusion of the monk's tale leaves Dondup with a dilemma--is the grass truly greener on the other side?
Leave your thoughts about Travellers and Magicians.
| NewsdayGene SeymourThe scenery is breathtaking, the amateur cast is appealing, and the road trip, though as shaggy and unruly as the vagabond official's haircut, emits a pleasant buzz. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderThere is much more to Travellers & Magicians than a mere travelogue, and the journey is well worth the price of admission. |
| Village VoiceLaura SinagraIn interviews, Norbu has compared the editing process to meditation. While his pacing echoes that of polestars like Ozu and Makhmalbaf, his edits make striking events out of mundane motions like hands moving under running water and mouths meeting cups of butter tea. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperThe film is not profound and the resolution not entirely satisfying, but it a pleasant enough experience. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenWith its intricate design, sly humour and timely theme, Travellers and Magicians is a lot more than just a travelogue. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthKhyentse Norbu traces Dondup's path to enlightenment with mixed results that are nonetheless culturally engaging and gently amusing. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawWhat salvages the film is the powerful simplicity of its faith. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenYesterday's dreams, today's heartache--that's the meaning of this involving story within a story, the first movie shot entirely in Bhutan. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionBob TownsendA colorful and witty work that doesn't preach so much as gently nudge us to consider the wonders of our existence. |
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Mark PalermoThe exotic landscapes combine with subtle realizations for a moving human work. |
