KARDEC – True story of Professor Léon Rivail who became Kardec in late 19th century France when he discovered spiritualism, prompting him to write The Spirits’ Book. I had never heard of this book, but apparently it is well known, especially in Brazil. Naturally the book created much conflict with both Emperor Napoléon and the Catholic Church, making life dangerous for Kardec and his followers. The movie is filmed in Portuguese and dubbed in English. The voices of the actors dubbing the Professor and his wife didn’t match with the look of the actors portraying them onscreen. I expected them to have entirely different speaking voices. Add to that the actor dubbing the professor wasn’t very good to begin with….his delivery was flat and I didn’t believe him. The film itself and its subject were uninteresting and dull. Zero toasts/boyfriends/girlfriends.
