"Subordinates Western-style filmmaking to Eastern Wisdom with modest unforced charm and narrative thrift" -The New York Sun

"An intriguing mixture of spiritual didacticism and old-school historical entertainment" -New York Magazine

"Rugged backdrops that John Ford would have killed for" -The New Yorker

Together with a small group of monks and dharma friends Neten Chokling Rinpoche has made a bold, first feature film—Milarepa: Magician, Murderer, Saint—his rendition of the life story of Milarepa, Tibet's most beloved spiritual figure. A skillfully crafted revenge drama.

Please forward this message to anyone who may be interested in this film. As we begin to see Tibetans and Buddhists telling their own stories for the first time on film, it is critical that we turn out to see the film to show support for Buddhist filmmaking and the preservation of Tibet’s rich cultural history.
