The Monk and the Gun

Dir. Pawo Choyning Dorji Bhutan, Taiwan, France, USA, Hong Kong 107 min PG-13

2023 Roadside Attractions

An elderly lama, recognizing that extraordinary change is about to sweep through his country, is troubled by the possible outcomes. He instructs his young disciple Tashi to set forth into the kingdom and bring him two guns before the full moon to “set it right.” The young monk is perplexed by his guru’s request, and his familiarity with guns is based solely on images from the only film available on television: James Bond. His quest brings him into contact with a scheming American gun collector Ron, leading to a most unexpected outcome.
