Timestalker (4 Stars)

This is the 13th film of the Stuttgart Weird Weekender Festival.

Do you believe in reincarnation? That's a question often asked in "Timestalker". Agnes lives in Scotland in the 17th Century. She's married, but when she sees a man about to be executed she falls in love with him. Love at first sight. She has to save his life, so she distracts the executioner, but in the process she trips onto the axe and dies.

But she's born again in the next century. She knows the man must have been reincarnated near her, so she immediately begins to look for him. She finds him and declares her love for him, but he doesn't recognise her and thinks she's mad.

She's reincarnated repeatedly over the centuries in different countries. The man is easy to find. His name is always Alex and he always lives close to her. But she always dies before she can get anywhere.

That's the film's premise. I shan't say any more, because it should be coming to cinemas soon. I liked it a lot, but it shouldn't have been made as a comedy. It would have been a lot better as a serious film about an eternal love.
