In her most recent film (shot entirely on digital video), writer-director Doris Dörrie creates a sweetly comic and spiritually enlightened work reminiscent of her earlier international success, Men. Two brothers—Gustav, a feng shui expert, and Uwe, an utter slob who has just been left by his wife—want to get their screwed-up lives together by traveling to Japan for a retreat in a Zen monastery. En route, their respective mid-life crises turn into catastrophe when they find themselves hopelessly lost in the midst of nighttime Tokyo with neither money nor a clue about how to get back to their hotel. Their first lesson in the Zen concept of "leaving everything behind" is absorbed with unanticipated literalness. Life in the monastery is an immersion of a more subtle kind: here, the mundane and the sublime merge in liminal ways. Although the enigma of enlightenment continues to elude them, the brothers are nonetheless changed forever.
