Reincarnation can be quite frustrating, particularly if you are the lamb about to be slaughtered, over and over again. No matter if it’s 1688, 1793 or 1980: Agnes falls for Alexander, Alex, or whatever his name may be at the time. While he follows his own dreams of immortality (with limited success), time and again she has to pay for her love with a brutal death—and must deal with a scorned husband (played by Nick Frost) from an earlier life, perpetually hot on her heels. Her latest venture sees Alice Lowe once again honing her mixture of blood, absurd humor, and self-empowerment, adorned this time with rococo dildos and a return to the New Romantics. What more could you ask for? (tt)
Alice Lowe
is a multitalented comedian from Coventry, UK, whose career began as co-writer and performer of surrealist, experimental theater shows. She has appeared in cult TV series auch as Little Britain, The IT Crowd, Black Books, The Mighty Boosh and, perhaps most famously, as Dr. Haynes in Black Mirror: Bandersnatch From 2011 to 2015, she had her own BBC Radio 4 sketch show, Alice’s Wunderland. Her big-screen breakthrough was Ben Wheatley’s Sightseers (2012), which she co-wrote and starred in. For her own feature directing debut, the hilarious Prevenge (2016, SLASH ½ 2017), she combined slasher movie elements and vivid humor into a cathartic “antenatal satire”. Timestalker, her second feature film, premiered at SXSW in Austin, Texas, this year.
