Love this movie. Ultra low budget, yet ultra high concept time travel tale. The best is this married dude gets warped into of world of time traveling trouble when he decides to take his eyes off his wife and spy on a naked lady in the woods. (A perfect story catalyst if you ask me. ) He's safe with just snooping, but he nonetheless steals off into the woods to "explore" further. The narrative comes off as what you assume is predictable (as we see the same chain of events unfold from three different planes of time) until the fantastic twist of an ending mind-fucks you. The story is stripped down and economical, most likely due to the low budget nature of the project. Whatever it cost, it looks like maybe 5% of that budget made it on screen and I don't care. Who's in it you ask???? Who cares...its foreign and awesome, surely to be screwed up in the soon to arrive Hollywood remake. Scope this one out if you want something fresh, different and feel like thinking when you walk away from it.sparse and shallow movie talk...
