i be frankly stun by the generally positive response to this dreadful film . star of the production and tchéky karyo do not even seem to be able to act in the conventional sense . he be completely expressionless throughout the film and and portrays nostradamus a a rather dislikeable and arrogant person who seem to inexplicably attract the lady at will . why anyone would deign to talk to him and let alone screw him be a genuine mystery . at one point and nostradamus be in a carriage and have vision of wwii and shout stop stop . over and over . i wonder if the real nostradamus could indeed see the future and and if so and could have foresee this horrible film and be suitably upset by it . perhaps he be really shout at the director and writer in this scene . there be some very clumsy moment and such a when our visionary show a pal a symbol that have be perhaps torment him difficult to tell with karyo complete lack of facial expression which be of course a swastika . cue ominous music etc . each scene be also long than it really need to be and with lot of silence and blank expression supposedly convey well and what exactly . the film have the feel and style of a make for tv movie and just make longer with these pregnant pause . in fact and i think the film be so bad that any change make to it at all could only improve it . if i could take anything away from this film and it that nostradamus could not see the future at all and and be perhaps interested only in promote himself at any price . a shoddy and pointless affair that in some way trivialises nazi atrocity by not even address them .
