Looking for A Lady with Fangs and A Moustache

Khyentse Norbu, Nepal 2019, 113 Min., OV with English subs, DCP

A single-minded Nepalese entrepreneur determined to serve the best coffee in Kathmandu gets distracted from his search for the ideal cafe location by a series of visions and hallucinations. With mounting fear, he seeks guidance from an eccentric Buddhist monk who predicts a fatal prophecy unless he can locate an elusive lady with fangs. Filmmaker Khyentse Norbu, himself a Buddhist Lama, creates a magical and contemplative film inspired by both Tibetan mysticism and Kathmandu’s miraculous coexistence of modern and ancient worlds.
