Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring (Uncut Edition) (Japan Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Best known for picking controversial topics for his films, director Kim Gi Deok was the first South Korean director to be awarded Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2004. His new work Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring traces the life of a Buddhist monk to draw an analogy between the changing of the seasons and the cycle of life.

The film tells a tale about the life of a Buddhist monk from childhood to an elderly age. As he grows, he experiences desires and emotions in his childhood, adolescence and adulthood. He kills a little animal out of innocent curiosity, falls for a girl, attempts suicide after committing murder and eventually returns to monkhood. Paralleled to the nature's cycle of four seasons, the development of his life reflects men's general patterns in life.

Shot at a floating temple on a lake in Mt. Chuwang National Park, Kim Gi Deok's latest film Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring features the director's debut as an actor. He plays the middle-aged monk and displays impressive athleticism in the winter scenes. Kim's previous eight works including The Isle, Address Unknown, and Bad Guy often deal with contentious topics that arouse viewers' contemplation.

タイトル:春夏秋冬そして春: 無修正版
出演:オ・ヨンス/キム・ジョンホ/キム・ヨンミン/ハ・ヨジン/キム・キドク
監督:キム・ギドク

緑深い山間の湖に浮かぶ小さな庵で、老僧と幼い子供が穏やかに暮らしていた。ある日、幼子は蛇に施したいたずらがもとで、殺生の業をその身に背負うことになる。時が過ぎ、幼子が利発な少年僧へと成長したころ、寺に養生のために訪れた少女と親睦を深めるようになり、還俗することに。だが市井の生活のなかで、彼は妻から手ひどく裏切られ、ある事件をきっかけに再び寺へと戻って来る…。
ある男の一生を通して、"人生"というものを移ろい行く四季になぞらえて描いた、韓国映画史上最高の感動作にして文芸的作品。春には罪の芽生えを、夏には青春の息吹を、秋には自らの罪業に深く傷つく姿を、冬には悟りの境地を、それぞれテーマに描いている。そして再び春が巡り来て、また新たな人生が始まるのだ。この壮大なドラマを紡ぎだしたのは、韓国の鬼才、キム・ギドク監督。幼年期、少年期、青年期、老年期の男の役に、それぞれ確かな演技力とキャリアを持つ役者たちを贅沢に配した。また、周王山国立公園の山中にある注山池に異例のセットを建設し、名匠が建立した水上の寺刹を舞台に、1年をかけて美しい四季の風景を丹念に撮影。その類まれな映像美とメッセージ性に富んだ作品世界が、全米及びヨーロッパで高い評価を受け、ベルリン国際映画祭銀熊賞を受賞したのをはじめ、多くの映画賞で高い評価を受けた。
