So, you have to check out 'Save Alchi' from 1989. It's this fascinating little documentary that really captures the essence of Alchi Monastery, which is this stunning but increasingly fragile site in Ladakh. Shot by Jaroslav Poncar, the vibe is pretty serene, and the pacing is just right for soaking in the details. The wall paintings, dating back to the 11th to 13th centuries, are a highlight – you can feel the weight of history there. There's something quite sobering about its focus on preservation, too. It’s not flashy but has a raw honesty that really resonates, especially if you appreciate the art and culture of Buddhism.
