To some he was a wizard, a miracle man; to others he was a charlatan and a fraud. His theories of hypnotism were revolutionary, but he was reviled by his contemporaries and exiled from his native Vienna. He became the toast of Paris, a visionary, a Svengali--and the disgrace of the medical profession. He was Franz Anton Mesmer and this was eighteenth century Vienna. Written by Dennis Potter (Pennies from Heaven). Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "Prepare" to be MESMERized!I have read other review on this board regarding this movie, and I saw a common theme of person's saying that the film was a bit hard to follow, even thought they liked it as a whole. I did not find the story difficult, but I did do some research prior to watching it. I did some reference work through my university, but also on something as accessible as wikipedia. If you look there, it gives you a lucid, coherent outline of Mesmer and his research, aw well as his methods of practice. If you ...

What about seances,crystal therapy,faith healings, chiropractic and primal scream therapy? There are numerous avenues to healing out there and some, along with their adherers may be considered a little wacky by some! Well.. If you have ever wondered where the phrase "you've got animal magnetism" gets it's origin you will learn it here in this very different film MESMER starring the enigmatic and creepy Alan Rickman. ...

He can take a bad script and turn it into gold just with his delivery. But in this movie, he went WAY over the top, and not in a good Sheriff of Nottingham way. There were times when I felt he wasn't chewing scenery, he was swallowing it whole! Rating: - Great film! Bad Sound Mix!While truly a great film the DVD version has little to offer beyond the VHS. Alan Rickman is, as always, at his uncomparable best and perfectly cast with Amanda Ooms. Hopefully, there will be a remastered version with an updated state of the art sound mix and more to offer as far as cast interviews(?) and/or deleted scenes. A film such as this deserves better technical updates as it is really important in the annals of film history and cast repertoire. Rating: - What was that?Even Alan Rickman couldn't save this conglomeration of images which attempted to depict the life and times of Franz Anton Mesmer. Truly an interesting story, Mesmer's life is not well portrayed by this movie. Unless you are already well acquainted with Mesmer and his theories, watching this movie will not explain any of the man's intriguing ideas. In fact, I found myself more confused by the end of the movie than before I'd begun watching it! The sound was not good at all for a portion ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
