I just finished watching the movie The Bee Season with Richard Gere and Juliette Binoche. It was quit a fascinating view of the spiritual quest for each member of a family. Gere plays a Professor of Religious studies at Berkeley with a focus on Jewish mysticism / cabbalism. When his 11 year old daughter starts to win spelling spelling bees with an almost mystical ability, he starts to introduce her to the secrets of words and sounds found in Cabbalistic thought. His teenage son is also on a spiritual quest since judaism is not providing enough. And Binoche, who seemingly has a similar ability as her daughter, is fighting her fragmented past by creating a spiritual mozaic.
This is a movie worth seeing!
