Review of Little Buddha

Little Buddha (1993)
5/10
Does not age well
13 July 2019
Enough was already said about the bad acting of Bridget Fonda and Chris Isaak and the miscast of the otherwise fantastic Keanu Reeves. I also agree with reviews that stated that this is essentially two films, cut together. I didn't mind the slowness of the movie as it suits the subject matter. What makes it difficult to watch these days is the terrible overuse of the red and blue filters that separate the stories. Not only the cliché use -blue for the cold, hard western world, red of course for the warm and cosy Buddhist world- but the strength of the filters is so bad, it hurts my eyes.
