BEST SPIRITUAL FICTION 2010 : MILAREPA


Milarepa - Neten Chokling - Bhutan, 2009 - 90 mn

Milarepa depicts the humble beginnings of the man who was to become Tibet's greatest saint. A true story based on centuries-old oral traditions, a youthful Milarepa is propelled into a world of sorrow and betrayal after his father's sudden death. Destitute and hopeless,he sets out to learn black magic - and exact revenge on his enemies - encountering magicians, demons, an enigmatic teacher and unexpected mystical power along the way. But it is in confrontation with the consequences of his anger that he learns the most. Photographed in the stunning Lahaul-Spiti region of Northern India, Milarepa offers a provocative parallel to the cycle of violence and retribution we see consuming today's world.

Mille ans après sa mort, l'histoire initiatique de Milarépa fait partie du patrimoine spirituel mondial. Tibet, 11ème siècle, originaire d'une famille de riches marchands, Milarépa mène une enfance privilégiée. Sur son lit de mort, le père confie la richesse familiale à son frère jusqu'à la majorité de Milarépa. Cependant, l'oncle s'arroge la fortune familiale et exploite la nouvelle misère de Milarépa, sa mère et sa jeune soeur, quasiment réduits en esclavage. Humiliée et désespérée, la mère envoie Milarépa en apprentissage auprès du maître Yongten Trogyal afin qu'il l'initie à la magie noire et revienne les venger.
