Valley of Flowers is a great Asian love story and the
second film from Indian director Pan Nalin, whose début Samsara (2002)
won widespread acclaim.
Valley of Flowers is an unforgettable tale about passion,
death and reincarnation. It is a mesmerizing Himalayan epic
that spans two centuries, from the Silk Route of the early
19th Century to the bustling metropolis of modern-day Tokyo.
When
Jalan (Milind Soman), an outlaw leader, allows the beautiful
Ushna (Mylène Jampanoï) to join his band, their fortunes temporarily
improve; but soon, admiration flowers into obsession, blindness
and supernatural peril, as the lovers delve too far in pursuit
of their desire.
As their success increases and is seemingly unstoppable,
so the love between Jalan and Ushna mounts in intensity, until
they seem to have entered a world of their own.
