Wissenswertes
This movie, Intrigo: In Liebe, Agnes (2019) and Intrigo: Samaria (2019) comprise an anthology trilogy. As an anthology, the trilogy is tied together by story themes - hate, revenge and nemesis - rather than by characters. The only characters common to all three movies are the not seen opening narrator, portrayed by Karen Archer, who speaks about those themes, and Doris, portrayed by Tor Clark, a server at the titular "Intrigo", a café in the fictional town of Maardam where many of the characters meet. Michael Byrne portrays Keller in both "Author" and "Samaria", Ed Cooper Clarke portrays Thomas Neuman(n)-Hansen in both "Author" and "Agnes", and Cal MacAninch portrays Erich Neuman(n)-Hansen in both "Agnes" and "Samaria", and one can only assume, although it is not implicitly stated, that in all three cases the actor is indeed playing the same character in both movies. In addition, the assumed name of the translator in "Author" and the ad copywriter in "Samaria" are both Henry Martens.

Zitate
[first lines]
Opening Narrator: The people of the world are more or less the same. Thought we may come in different shapes and colors, we all share the same inheritance, and we all have our back stories, and our secrets. Like this man, let's call him Henry, trying to find his way on a remote Greek island.
Opening Narrator: Even though evolution might seem to mature us, there are still parts of our brain that belong to our reptile ancestors. Although we've convinced ourselves that hate, revenge and nemesis belong to the past, our ancient ancestors' blood still runs in our veins... whether we like it or not.

... tiresome, tedious and annoying ....

I think the actor's knew they were going to be paid regardless of how the movie turned out. So they did their best. To me, I never forgot that I was watching Ben Kingsley, so what happened to his character? Actually, why was his character even there? This movie started out with an intriguing premise, melded into some totally unbelievable ideas and got lost when it drove on the wrong side of the road, so to speak. If the intention was to make it all unclear and confusing then it deserves applause; but methinks someone watched Alfred Hitchcock and thought to themselves, "I can do that". I'll just make it original with some German accents and blue eyed chosen people. I will forget this one soon.
