🎬 MovieFinder's Take
"Почему Бодхидхарма ушел на Восток?" (1989) tells its story without decoration: humanity here is weakness and strength at once.
If you want cinema that leaves a mark — not entertains, but reaches — this is it.
For viewers for whom it matters that something stays after the credits.
Director: Bae Yong-kyun

Viewing atmosphere: solo or with someone close — not for a big crowd.
