Alternate Title: Odyssey

Directed by: Lawrence Jordan

year: 1993 11 minutes

POSTCARD FROM SAN MIGUEL is perhaps the most mystical of all the films from Lawrence Jordan's "Odyssey" triptych. On the surface, it is merely a postcard from the picturesque Mexican colonial town of San Miguel de Allende. Underneath is the mysterious quest for the filmmaker's dream-lover.

The making of THE SACRED ART OF TIBET was a long and arduous process. And, it made a deep impression in my life. The film culminated a long period of research into Northern Buddhist philosophy.

San Miguel de Allende is even more beautiful and magical than respresented in this short film. Consider this an apetizer and enjoy----for more substance:go visit.
