The Visitors (1993)

I am a sucker for time travel stories, especially for they deal with inevitable paradoxes that get raised.  The Visitors (1993) is a French film that I watched last night.  Think of it as the inverse of Michael Crichton's Timeline.  A French count and his vassal are transported from the 12th century to 1992.  Unlike Timeline which involves quantum remote FAXing gone awry, the time travel forward involves a senile wizard who forgets to include quail eggs in his vile concoction.  There are the usual fish out of water gags, including a Moor driving the devil's chariot (a French post office van) and the vassal discovering the French Revolution, with predictable results.  It's a funny movie, unlike Timeline.  I was pleased to see that it won a number of French film awards.
