Lush treatment of the Herman Hesse novel from 1952. A young man sets out on a spiritual quest seeking the meaning of life. He passes through love, material success, status recognition and still finds something lacking. He finally realizes that living each day in the moment, eschewing desire, craving nothing, performing a task as simple as ferrying people across a river is as meaningful as life gets.
The cine by Sven Nykvist was beautiful...the music used splendid...actors handsome and skilled. A fine production all around.
