Question: Tough question for foreign film buffs: need help with title of an Asian film!.!?
Several years ago in one of my literature classes, the professor showed us a film, and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was, or anything specific enough about it to be able to run a successful search!.
What I do remember:
-It was an East or Southeast Asian film, with English subtitles!.
-Throughout the film, it would cut to a narrator/storyteller guy on a stage, with a drum!. This was the reason we were shown the film in my class: to highlight the important oral tradition of the country in which the film was set!.
-It was a period film (not modern day)
-In the beginning, the prince (I think he was a prince, anyway) of whatever country it was was studying for an important exam!.
-As the plot developed, the prince posed as a peasant and went on a journey through the countryside!. If I remember correctly, he was looking to find out how loyal his people were!.!.!. or something to that effect!.
-There was a love interest, and a gorgeous love scene in her house in the country!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
