Almost a Buddhist parable

Rating: 10/10 (18 August 2005)

What is the purpose of reincarnation if one has no memory of a previous life? How can you learn from your mistakes if you've forgotten that you ever made them? And what passes from a previous life to the next if there is no memory of a previous existence?
In a subtle way this movie addresses these questions. But instead of lifetimes, love affairs are used. And it's love that passes through the generations. Soul mates are destined to find each other, again and again, despite the trivial incompatibilities. This is a marvelous, original movie. Beautifully, and acted directed. The film is not really a science fiction. It's a moral parable.
