Description: A séance of cinematic brilliance, “Kardec” (2019) isn't just a biographical drama; it’s a profound exploration of faith, doubt, and the enduring human quest for meaning beyond the veil. While meticulously crafted, the film transcends the biopic genre, delving into the complexities of spiritualism with a delicate touch. The emotional resonance stems not from sensationalism, but from its quiet contemplation of the human condition in the face of the unknown. Director Wagner de Assis’ sensitive direction allows the narrative to unfold organically, leaving the audience with lingering questions and a powerful sense of introspection long after the credits roll. This isn't just a film about Allan Kardec; it's a film about us, our yearning for connection, and our enduring search for answers.
