In the middle of watching great movies from the online Grimmfest film festival,I discovered that the 2021 Borderlines film festival was taking place at the same time, which led to me taking a spin of the wheel,and watching the first movie that popped up at the event.
View on the film:
Taking a close-up look at a bodily function, director Agnieszka Holland & cinematographer Martin Strba take a terrific straight-lace approach to Mikolasek's examination of pee,with CGI effects in close-ups on the filled jars, bring up from under the microscope the signs Mikolasek sees to correctly diagnose patients.
Covering decades of his life, Holland notes down Mikolasek's homeopathic treatments with a refine Costume Drama atmosphere of crystal-clear close-ups on the stoic Mikolasek,which folds out to chilly panning shots of the totalitarian rulers dragging Mikolasek to court.
Playing Mikolasek at his most youthful,and most tied and old,feather and son Ivan and Josef Trojan give wonderful performances as Mikolasek, with the burst of excitement he is given by Josef being twisted to a stern, clinical gaze displayed in his older days by Ivan.
Adding a fictional male lover to his life as a poor guess for why the real marriage of Mikolasek might have fell apart, the screenplay by Marek Epstein, Martin Sulc & Jaroslav Sedlacek takes a narrow view on if Mikolasek's homeopathic treatments actually work,and if he was a actually charlatan,with the writers presenting him in a rather saintly fashion,where all who question him are totalitarian psychos who are trying to rubbish the good name of the rebellious healer Mikolasek.
