“Deep Cuts” is a new series celebrating lesser known films and performances from the careers of major cinema icons. 

One of the true movie stars of the post-modern era, Keanu Reeves has helped redefine both the sci-fi and action genres with his portrayals of Neo in The Matrix and the unstoppable assassin John Wick in the eponymous gun-fu franchise. But those two great performances only scratch the surface of a truly varied and impressive film career that has spanned four decades. In our inaugural showcase of “Deep Cuts,” we take a look a quartet of equally mind-bending cinematic oddities from the fringes of Reeves’ filmography.

Synopsis: Drawing on Buddhist history to weave a metaphor about the tragedy of Tibetans in exile, Little Buddha is Bernardo Bertolucci’s stunning follow-up to The Sheltering Sky. In this religious tour-de-force, a Buddhist monk, Lama Norbu (Ying Ruocheng), believes that a 10-year-old American boy, Jesse (Alex Wiesendanger), is the reincarnation of his spiritual teacher, Lama Dorje. Jesse’s father, Dean (Chris Isaak), and mother, Lisa (Bridget Fonda), are skeptical, but following his business partner’s suicide, a transformed Dean relents and allows his son to travel to Bhutan. However, there are two other children whom the monk thinks may also be the reincarnation of Lama Dorje. Featuring Keanu Reeves as Siddhartha.
