Straddling the past and the present, and weaving ideas of physiology, psychology and spiritualism, The Book Of Vision is a bold and uncompromising feature debut from Italian documentarian Carlo Hintermann. Following the fractured experiences of a young female doctor as her research into 18th century medicine chimes with her own biological challenges, the film is a beautifully shot, if narratively knotty, exploration of our evolving relationship with our bodies and souls.The Book of Vision 2020 full Movie Download.
Wilfully enigmatic, this Critics Week opener could easily divide audiences. Those who succumb to its dreamlike feeling will find a great deal of pleasure, while others are likely to be frustrated by its time-jump structure and convoluted story strands. The presence of Charles Dance top-lining the cast, as well as of executive producer Terrence Malick, may help pique the interest of streaming audiences interested in its themes of medicine, the occult and animism.
Malick also serves as an obvious source of inspiration for Hintermann, whose first documentary, 2002’s Rosy-Fingered Dawn, was a devoted profile of the filmmaker. Hintermann was also a line producer on Malick’s Tree Of Life, and their shared sensibility is clear from the off; dreamy voice-overs, lingering shots, experiential musings. Similarly, much like Malick’s recent works, The Book Of Vision can get bogged down by its own heavy-handed existentialism.The story is nonetheless intriguing. Young Dutch surgeon Eva (Outlander’s Lotte Verbeek) — a pointed name that recalls Eve, the ultimate Earth mother — leaves behind her promising career to study medical history. She has become obsessed by 18th century Prussian physician Johan Anmuth (played in flashback by Dance), who paid as much attention to the beliefs and dreams of his patients as their physical symptoms. The discovery of his manuscript of cases provides Eva with a link to the past, and she begins having visions of Anmuth, his wealthy patient Elizabeth (also played by Verbeek), and his young maid, Maria (compelling Russian actress Isolda Dychauk), who miscarried her violently-conceived child.
