Kardec

I don't like most foreign films, but this was surprisingly well-done. Beautiful backgrounds. Good acting. Decent pacing of the movie throughout.

I was already a fan of Kardec's work, so I found the movie facinating.

If I didn't know Kardec's work, I would probably find this to be simply an interesting period piece about some spiritual phenomenon in 19th-century France.

It's the origin story of a religion/philosophy called Spiritism that has become very influential in Brazil.

Photography portraying Paris in 1800 ensures the success of the film It shows how the codification of the Spiritist doctrine happened through the hands of a teacher who did not believe in the manifestations of the Spirits.

If I were to rate the above film on general criteria, including technical merit, the film would get 6 stars.

However, since I am heavily involved in spirituality, due to the SUPPORT of the above mentioned subject in the film industry, I give the film Kardec a full rating.

That's all from my side. Thank you to the filmmakers for this film.

Kardec is an extraordinary period film. Good screenplay, breathtaking cinematography and amazing performances. Storytelling here, also well directed by Assis, is meaningful. Very highly recommended !!

Another amazing work from Wagner de Assis bringing this time Kardec's biography and his amazing mission: educate the humankind that we are not just matter. We really have a purpose: learn to love and that life goes on. FANTASTIC! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
