The Buddha and the Hinky Clark Strand Review

  
Here’s a review of the PBS documentary, The Buddha (click here). I saw the last hour and liked it a lot, especially appreciating W.S. Merwin and Jane Hirschfield, a couple of my favorite poets, who did much of the talking. Clark found them vapid.

Anyway, Clark’s an old friend who often finds hinky and provocative angles to things. He found the film “…haphazard, impulsive, and at times visually disjointed” among other things. 

Reminds me of how I thought the Dogen movie was lame but most other people I know liked it. Apparently, there’s no accounting for taste.

Your thoughts on the review and/or the film, The Buddha, welcome here.
