Arhat Taming The Dragon
ARHAT TAMING THE DRAGON is vertical in format, like the 14th-century scroll that was its inspiration, and projected on a screen inside the wooden temple that appears in the film. We first see a diminutive Buddhist monk fishing in a river, which in his fantasy becomes the churning, stylized river in the scroll. He is indeed the artist painting his work.
