    Slowish start but keep watching!!

    Slighty bizarre yet a delightful film. Great cast, Peter O'Toole is superb.

    Interesting!

    An unusual tale of reincarnation. Having first read the book I was pleased that the film did not veer too far from it. I found it entertaining and thought provoking, serious and yet amusing. Nothing like any film I've seen before but thorougly enjoyable nevertheless.

    The acting is excellent, particularly Peter O'Toole, Judy Parfitt and Art Malik.

    I would thorougly recommend it.
