A enigmatic stranger makes a desilusioned man rethink his choices

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2011)

A wonderful movie inspired by a Indian myth and the love of golfing. It is beautifully filmed not only in the way it portraits the landscape, but also how it portraits the actual act of golfing. You can see very clearly that golf is not just an excuse but a main subject for the creators of the film.
Perhaps that is the reason for that this film for the very first time in my life made me understand the beauty and magic of golf. There is especially one sequence of actual golfing where the movements is so beautiful filmed that I had to see it repeatedly and I still remember it though it was actually some years since I saw it.
The main characters are very well formed. The stranger (who is in fact a god, or at least inspried by a Indian deity) has the carefree playful feel about him as such a person should have. Also the dessilutioned former soldier, you can really feel the memorys of the war wheigin him down.
If you have the opportunity, see it!
