a good look and well act ( the lead player be excellent ) but dull and very disjointed biopic of the famous prophet that seem of though it be cut down from something much longer . karyo be a good casting in the title role but he struggle in a fairly flat role . director christian and ( who be art director for ridley scott alien ) and give the film a handsome old world look but he just amble through the script that ramble on and on and tell u nothing that we do not know about the future and nothing even about the nostrodamus himself . the performance and occasional moment of interest keep one eye half open and but this be miss opportunity on such an interesting subject matter .
