Movie synopsis

Inspired by a true story, LITTLE BUDDHA begins with a group of Tibetan monks leaving their monastery in Bhutan to search for the reincarnation of a recently deceased high lama. Their quest takes them to Seattle, where they try to convince young Jesse's father and mother (Chris Isaak and Bridget Fonda) that their son may be the lama. Intercut throughout is the story of Siddhartha (played by Keanu Reeves), the prince who became the Buddha.

An exploration into the culture of Buddhism from a westerner POV

This is a strange and exotic film culture not our own. And for that it is enchanting.

Story wise, it isn't very exciting or all that interesting, and perhaps the very reason it didn't do very well.

You have to take it for what it is. An exploration into the culture of Buddhism from the view point of a westerner.

And that makes it a worth view.

Watch it. Savor it.

Blessings, Max Rainet
