(More customer reviews)This is an excellent film; great cast, beautiful locale, and a unique story. It touches on a really forbidden topic - dissatisfied housewife rushes to tormented mother, meets monk, has affair - who touches on this kind of topic anymore? For that matter, how many monks look like Alex Carter? The best performance, though, is by Bruce Greenwood; the confused husband. His subtle performance of the steady, supportive spouse is so touching, especially when he is shaken by his wife's sudden announcement of wanting time on her own. The guy has great facial expressions of confusion, incredulity, and then that quiet but deadly anger. It'll make you weep! A really good film!!!!!!!!!!
