The sound of one man fishing...
9 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Another beautiful journey brought to you by Academy Award winner, Michael Dudok de Wit. The chase, the frustration, the contemplation, the resignation all build to create this humorous tale.

It works on the simplistic level to amuse as you watch a monk try and try to catch a fish, reminiscent of Wily E. Coyote and his pursuit of the Road Runner (although in a completely different, much more mature artist style). But, c'mon, it's a monk, a man of the cloth, chasing a fish, a religious symbol of faith. The rhythm and pacing closely mirrors the traditional struggle of the questions of faith.

You can catch this DVD for five clams at www.Filmporium.com and net the other two shorts on the disc, "A Hunting Lesson" and "2D or Not 2D".
