I watched Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...Spring recently.

I was underwhelmed, to say the least.

The stories were presented literally, superficially. It tells you, instead of engaging you and letting you figure out for yourself.

I read somewhere the director is not a Buddhist (he's a Christian). If true, this could perhaps (but should not) explain why he's able to sketch the forms but not show profoundness of the Buddhist teachings. I'm not a Buddhist but even I can see an opportunity lost.
