This adaptation of a late sixteenth-century classic Chinese comic novel, Journey to the West, based on Anthony C. Yu's translation, takes as its point of departure the true story of a seventh-century monk and his fabled pilgrimage from China to India in search of sacred texts. Mixing whimsy with spiritual weight, Zimmerman's script combines comedy, adventure, and satire in a moving allegory of human perseverance.
