Ecclesiastes Gone ‘Sideways’

Jill Middlemas

Faculty of Oriental Studies, Oxford University

In the light of modern day attention to happiness as a personal and societal goal, this paper explores how this theme has been presented in the movie Sideways as well as in the biblical book ‘Ecclesiastes’. Although the outlook of the two clearly overlaps, the biblical perspective tempers the modern view.

Key Words: Ecclesiastes • happiness • instruction • justice • wisdom • vanity (hebel) • Qoheleth
