Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter…and Spring Among The Onion A.V. Club‘s “Best Films of the ’00s”

by Danny Fisher

The Onion A.V. Club, which I have long contended is overdue for the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism, has offered their list of “The Best Films of the ’00s”.  Among the titles they selected, I was pleased to see Kim Ki-duk’s Buddhist fable Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter…and Spring–which came in ahead of such great ones as City of God, Brokeback Mountain, Old Boy, Gerry, and The Dark Knight.  Earlier this year, I named it one of my “Five Great Films about Buddhism” for elephant journal.  If you haven’t seen it…well, what are you doing reading this?  Go watch it!
