5. Kora
Based on the best-selling book of the same name, the road movie "Kora" (pilgrimage) tells the tale of a young Taiwanese who journeys to Tibet by bicycle, hoping to complete the journey his dead brother was never able to finish. The film also depicts the beautiful scenery alongside the Yunnan-Tibet borders, from Lijiang to Lhasa.
While the film is partly concerned with depicting the magnificent scenery of the Yunnan-Tibet borders region, "Kora" also has a strong sentimental aspect. Despite the lack of romantic salvation, the stories which unfold on the road touched audiences deeply, particularly those who have actually cycled to Tibet.
No matter whether it's about a Tibetan boy, a young nun, a Tibetan Mastiff or simply the passersby, the emotions evoked by, and transmitted by this serene film were sincere and real. "Kora" is a film for everyone who has ever dreamed of escaping the everyday slog and tedium of urban life. What will happen on the road? You will never know until you have the courage to strike out on an incredible journey of your own.
