In the year that Cannes Film Festival handed out awards to Federico Fellini for La Dolce Vita, L’avventura by Michelangelo Antonioni, and Kagi by Kon Ichikawa — ‘Le Sourire’ won the Palm d’Or for Best Short Film in 1960. This quiet and intelligent film is a remarkable interpretation of a young monks perspective into a world of meditation, sacred geometry, and coming of age. A tribute to Buddhism, introspection and the wonders of nature…a short but lasting work of art. |
