the fatal hubris of an artist in the path of Nazism
This is the story of the fatal hubris of an artist who vainly tries to maintain neutrality in the face of encroaching Nazism, in order to pursue his brilliant career as a hypnotist and magician. The suspense grows unbearable as the perverse evil intrudes into every aspect of life.There are wonderful examples of the way the Hitler’s propaganda machine co-opts everything in sight, and how people underestimate, over and over again, the lengths he will go to. The character of Bruno Bettelheim, with a clear, humane view of life, appears as a foil to the protagonist who is seduced by his ‘art’. I really liked the irony of the man who predicts the future, coming up against his own unrolling fate, as becomes clear in the last, most sinister scene.
This is my favorite of the three Istvan Szabo movies about protagonists trying to control their fate in the web of intrigue of a totalitarian state. It is exciting and provocative.
Well executed and engrossing
*MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS* Well thought out and acted story of German soldier suffering head wound in the First World War. Languishing in a hospital, he discovers he now is gifted (or cursed) with the ability to predict the future. With the advent of the end of hostilities, he travels in a roadshow with an army pal. He becomes the latest societal “caus celebre,” as one could imagine. HANUSSEN (portrayed excellently by Klaus Maria Brandauer) gets caught up in the fame, while the depressing nature of his predictions spell doom for those around him, and the German nation. A very good film, deftly realized. Recommended.
