「岡仁波齊」藏語解作「神靈之山」,自古被認定為世界最中心,更同屬藏傳佛教、印度教的神山,每年吸引無數信眾前往朝聖。漢族導演張揚於去年(釋迦牟尼誕生年)跟11位西藏業餘演員,在四千米高原上徒步兩千多公里展開歷時一年的磕長頭紀實之旅。由藏東芒康到拉薩再輾轉到藏西阿里,期間邊拍邊見證著隊員中途產子、母女險喪命亂石下、拖拉車意外撞毀、盤川耗盡要打工賺錢,以至父親離逝等,沒有劇本卻幕幕充滿戲劇張力。對西藏人來說,真正的信仰是完全融入生活,並能成為面對各種逆境的精神支柱。朝聖只因臣服,跟城市人要征服大自然的心態截然有別。

Chinese director Zhang Yang (Shower) blends reality and fiction in one of the most extraordinary road movies in recent memory. Zhang and his crew followed a group of 11 Tibetan villagers for seven months as they take a 1,200-kilometer pilgrimage to Lhasa, during which the trekkers must bow and lay their bodies on the ground every few steps. Without a traditional script, Zhang shaped the film’s story on the road, filming both the actual pilgrimage rituals and scripted scenes with a cast of non-professionals, with the stunning Tibetan landscape as their backdrop. The result is an astonishing work about faith, survival and camaraderie.
