A young man (The Moon Child) is reincarnated every 25 years, with each life ending in a stay at a mission hotel.
There he meets characters from his first life, all of whom are doomed to relive their roles in his life (and death) as well.
The cycle will end when his spirit reaches a state of perfection by purging its negative (violent) impulses.
Actor John Carradine is The Walker of The World, an otherworldly poet who is there to observe, and record for posterity, the proceedings.
Supposedly this was shot as a student film. I find that hard to believe considering the impressive cast. This film is not going to wow you, but it sure does deserve a better than 2.0 rating that it currently has here on IMDb. And certainly deserves to re-discovered for a cult following.
It's well filmed and very strange in a compelling sort of way. It's shocking that the director never worked again! Wish there was more info on him somewhere. He was talented.
Even if this movie wasn't a hit, the directing alone -- as a student film -- should have gotten him offers. Hell, David Lunch went on to make a movies after that Eraserhead which put me to sleep!
It's so well filmed (even if you can see the boom mike shadow in a scene or two). The framing is spot on and the color is superb.
It's a weird surreal trippy film. Give it a chance.
