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.
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 !!
Like the Scientology grabbed Hollywood and it's actors, a major branch of brazilian movie insdustry is operated by Spiritsts. They make every movie in the same soap opera style.
Boring and predictable
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.

It could be a very good movie, it has a good plot, but it's a terrible. The acting is horrible and the speak lines aren't even close of real. The protagonist does not seem to have faced any real problems. Per example, there's a scene which there's a problem to resolve and a group of people are talking about this very calm, more than necessary, and one person appears "shouting" saying "calm down!" but everybody already is calm.
I don't understanding why the people are giving good rates to it.
