    Fantastic explanation why we are not just matter

    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.

    Story of skeptic turned missionary

    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.

    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.

    The Story Of A French Professor: More Than Meets The Eye

    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 !!

    Could've been better

    The storyline follows that Kardec is a 2019 Brazilian drama film directed by Wagner de Assis and written by L.G. Bayão and Wagner de Assis. Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail, a French teacher who, when going over the phenomenon of "Spinning tables ", discerns that there is the prospect of communicating with the spirits. As an encoder of the Spiritism doctrine, Professor Rivail assumes the penname of Allan Kardec and expands, under the direction of the spirits, the five main books that guide Spiritist studies. 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. The fact that it was a brazilian movie about a french writer made me sit though it and I admit it is visually appealing. Yet, I'd mention that though Kardec could've been an extraordinary personality, I think there are tons of subjects or stories that could be more interesting. The production values are very good, but the script, and in fact the very concept (especially after stuff like 'the secret' and other similar works of literature) seemed like a stereotype and a commonly overused flat idea. Good screenplay (except, the suicide scene of the medium whilst kardec was standing right next to him, seemed unrealistic), breathtaking cinematography and amazing performances. But the idea to be honest seems old now. There definitely were new elements added, but those were like 2/100 parts of the movie. Rest was plain. To conclude I must mention that although the ending wasn't something I was expecting, being a happy ending lover, I quite liked it.
