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.

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.
Nice Brazilian Movie, great production value, great sets and decorations. Brough me a ton of useful informations about Mr Rivail's personal biography and contributions to pivotal existencial questions we all have for shure, or at least should have. For those who are transcedentalists, this movie will greatly reinforce their beliefs. For those who are not, it will rise many urgent and necessary questions, of whitch none of us can escape. An honest, must see movies, even for haters. Don't let any prejudice keep you apart from this movie. It ideals with an unseen part of the nature that, even though we can't see, touch or fell it, is there.
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
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 !!
