Several have mentioned the forthcoming movie, Ulee's Gold, starring
Peter Fonda.  The Sundance Film Festival will soon hand out awards; one of
them may go to Ulee's Gold.  The director, Victor Nunez, won a couple of
such awards for earlier productions.  On the front page of the Calendar
section in the 21 January issue of the LOS ANGELES TIMES, an article
discusses such a possibility.  Although not a review of the film, the
following paragraph provides a little more information about the movie than
I have read earlier on BEE-L:
 
"Ulee Jackson (evocatively played by Peter Fonda) is a third generation
beekeeper---a stubborn, solitary man who lives with his two granddaughters
beause their mother has run off and their father, Ulee's son, is in prison.
Circumstances force Ulee to search for the girls' mother, involving him
with hard cases from his son's past, turning the film into an unexpectedly
moving meditation on redemption and the power of family."
 
   Just though you would like to know.
