-

This “beguiling” Nepalese film directed by a Buddhist monk has no interest in suspense, said Dennis Harvey in Variety.com. When a Kathmandu man starts experienci­ng visions, a sage advises him to seek out a mercurial female spirit called a dakini.

The wild goose chase that follows “feels less like a convention­al narrative than a kind of maze from which the viewer finally emerges, a bit dazed but also refreshed.” ($12, lookingfor­alady.com) Not rated
