A strange, psychedelic, anxiety provoking and really clever film. One of the Coens’ best imo

Kundun is a film that is often overlooked in Scorsese’s filmography, which is a shame, because it’s a great, human and heartfelt story about the life of Dalai Lama. It greatly explores the themes of compassion, kindness, violence and religion during oppressive times. The direction is also stellar, every shot just breathes life and is so stylistically appealing. The music by Philip Glass deserves a shoutout too, it’s amazing.
