My whole life has been an amazing spiritual journey, I watched this film soon after learning Transcendental Meditation. This film completely resonated with me and desire of the soul to be free. In my top five movies of all time. Where can I get it?

I saw this film in a theater in Germany in 1983 and never forgot it. It delivers an intense experience of questioning, trial, search, fulfillment, mastery and confusion. Much like real life, only more concentrated. You'll never look at certain hills, birds or rusted car parts in the same way. Watch it, then wait a few days and watch it again, if you can. If the DVD ever appears. I would rank this as one of the five best ever made, but bear in mind that my best-ever list would also include The Man Who Fell to Earth (Roeg), Blade Runner (director's cut, not the one with the awful voiceover), Modern Times (Chaplin), and Brazil (Gilliam).

In my view Alain Tanner's best movie, beautiful, mystic and thought-provoking. Mick Ford makes a very good job of portraying the intelligent, tousled vagabond being initiated into the big mysteries of life.

People are confused. This isn't the wonderful Rene LaLoux animated French film called "Light Years" in America. This is a film directed by Alain Tanner. I'm not sure much about it.

No, it's not the animated film, but is VERY good...
I've been waiting ages to find it on DVD and hope you manage to get it out!

this is the best animated movie i have ever seen. seriously. i dont think even fantastic voyage is as good. why this hasnt been released on dvd i could not tell you.

Eric Roberts do not play in these movie. I'm a huge fan of Eric and this movie means nothing for me! Sorry for it but I think in do NOT want to watch it!
