Movie description
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.

Notes
Shot in Technicolor, Panavision, and 70mm. Bertolucci originally planned to make a biographical drama about Buddha, but shifted gears to make this story about an American boy believed to be the reincarnation of a great lama, and the life of the Buddha-to-be, Prince Siddhartha. The film was shot in both Nepal and Bhutan -- it is, in fact, the first film ever shot in Bhutan, and the filmmakers had to negotiate with both religious leaders and the King in order to get permission. Bertolucci was familiar with this process: he also has the distinction of being the first Westerner to film in Beijing's Forbidden City. According to Premiere, Nepali girls - who may have seen "Point Break" on video - were crazy for Keanu Reeves. They tracked his whereabouts relentlessly. Other recent films Bertolucci's shot in exotic locations include "The Sheltering Sky" (1990) and "The Last Emperor" (1987). Ironically, Khyongla Rato - the actor who plays the abbot in the film -- was five-years-old, he was identified as a reincarnation of a lama. Before agreeing to make the film, Rato consulted with the Dalai Lama to get his approval of the project. Rato currently lives in New York City where he runs the Tibet Center. Budget estimate $35 million. Premiered in Paris on December 1, 1993. Some versions of the film run as long as 140 minutes. Released in New York City May 25, 1994. Gordon McGill wrote the novel "Little Buddha" based on the screenplay by Wurlitzer and Peploe, published by Berkley Books. Filmed on location in Seattle, Nepal, India and Bhutan. See "Ossian - American Boy Tibetan Monk." Soundtrack available June 14, 1994 by Milan Entertainment. Rated BBFC 12 by the British Board of Film Classification.

Little Buddha

In original Cardboard case.

We are selling all of our VHS because we no longer have a way to play them.

I am happy to combine shipping on multiple purchase to give you the best deal. When purchasing more than 2 videos, I calculate costs on actual weight so my cost should be less than the fixed rate eBay shows. All our movies worked great the last time they were viewed unless otherwise noted.

Every thing is sold "as is", although I do my best to describe everything honestly. Please ask questions if you think of something I did not.

I will be continually listing as many items as quickly as I can. We have too much stuff and a lot of it has never been used. Keep checking my auctions - you never know what we may have to list!

I do not claim to be a fantastic photographer. Items may look distorted due to the angle I had to use to picture them. Any spots in the photo are from the camera unless otherwise noted. Clothing items may be wrinkled from storage. We do have a dog and I try to keep her hair away from sale items as much as possible. Please email if you need more photos.

I have described the item to the best of my ability. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me. All sales are final. Please check my other auctions and I will gladly combine shipping for multiple auctions wins.

Payment is expected within 7 days.

Thank you for looking at my auction and good luck! Have a great day!
