Milarepa [thangka image]

[from TibetShop]

I haven't yet seen the movie (1974), but would like to. More than a year ago, when I was trying to organize the DVD venture (currently still in limbo), I had a phone conversation with a cohort of the Italian director. I only vaguely recall, there was some considerable complication about rights to the film. It had been screened in a Buddhist film series in Berkeley (which called my attention to its existence). Liliana Cavani is a curious film director.
