laura28-1 This is a wonderful film. Not for any one particular reason -- the acting is great, the story keeps you wanting to learn more and involves time travel without becoming confusing -- it's just an all-around fun film. It is unfortunately difficult to see in the United States since the actors speak Catalan and it has mostly been making the rounds in film festivals. Through a series of email exchanges, I've learned that a DVD can be purchased from Manga films in Spain. The DVD is region 2, not 1, so be sure your DVD can play it, but this is well worth the trouble to track down. I saw this film in 2004 and it comes to mind often enough that I am trying to purchase a copy 3 years later.

mzbennett Adorable. Charming. Smart. Clever. Funny. Warm-hearted. Quirky. Delightfully tongue-in- cheek. If this movie was made for TV, why isn't American TV this good?Ramon is a shy guy in Spain, who has a terrible crush on Angie. A time traveler from the future enlists Ramon's help to save the world, and many comical and surprising missteps ensue. As they mess with the timeline, an unintended consequence occurs: Ramon and Angie fall in love. Will Ramon be able to save the world? Will saving the world require a change in the timeline that will erase their new love? Is saving the world really worth the effort if Madrid is going to beat Barcelona in the soccer championship? If you're ever lucky enough to have a chance, go see this movie!(Seen at the Port Townsend Film Festival, Port Townsend, Washington, USA, Sept. 2005)

Hellmao Meet Ramon, a low profile loner in Barcelona, superhero comic strips fan and too shy to approach the nice woman he sees walking the square every day. A small existence lacking any excitement. But then, in the middle of the night, a time traveller appears in his bedroom with a strange message: A small box of medication, Tempus Fugit, can bring you hours or days back or forward in time, and Ramon has a mission. He has to save the world. It sounds quite simple, but things get difficult for Ramon when the box is lost and his football crazy neighbour and his dog get involved. Will Ramon be able to save the world ? Does he still want to after finding out to be the chosen one because he is meaningless ? Tempus Fugit was produced for TV, but has made its way through various european film festivals with great public recognition. Rightfully so, because Enric Folch has made a friendly little movie with good actors, a plot full of little twists and turns and some very funny moments. The whole thing works very well on a big screen, and we can leave the cinema with a smile on our face: Little things can have big consequences and if we dare to change our daily routine and jump over our shadows, we don't need superhero skills to save the world. With a little luck we can even find the love of our life.
