Product Description
In his directorial debut, Buddhist lama Neten Chokling vividly presents the captivating story of Milarepa, the man who would become Tibet s greatest yogi and saint. In the dramatic setting of 11th century Tibet- a time of roaming sorcerers and yogis, according to Buddhist legend- a young Milarepa falls into a world of betrayal and hardships. The greed of others upturns his privileged life, dropping him into a void of despair, humiliation, pain and anger. He sets out to learn black magic- and exact revenge on his enemies- encountering magicians, demons, an enigmatic teacher and unexpected mystical power along the way. But it is in confronting the consequence of his quest for vengeance that he learns the most. Filmed on the breathtaking scenic Indo-Tibetan border, with Tibetan monks serving as most of the cast and crew, Milarepa glows with a unique visual and spiritual charge.

Although a wonderful film, I was very disappointed at the end of the film to be told Part II will be out later. The DVD tells only half the story.
Buyer beware, the story is in two parts and this first DVD is only half the story of Tibets Greatest Yogi Milarepa.
But well worth buying.
Story of revenge, yet somehow uplifting September 9, 2008
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
Excellent film of the early life of the 11th century Tibetan mystic saint, Milarepa, according to Buddhist legend. As a child he enjoys the comforts of a well-off family, but when his father dies and leaves Milarepa's uncle in charge of the estate, Milarepa and his mother are reduced to poverty and loss of prestige while the uncle enjoys the wealth now in his possession. Milarepa's mother sends her son away to study with a teacher of occult arts so that Milarepa may come back and get revenge on those responsible for her family's downfall. The actor who plays Milarepa will look familiar to those who saw "The Cup," since he was the persistent young soccer fan of that film! This film was beautifully done, with gorgeous cinematography, and will be followed by the rest of Milarepa's life story in a sequel. I loved it. Highly recommended!
