- Synopsis:
- After suffering a head wound in the last days of WW1, a soldier claims he can read minds and foresee the future. Adopting the name Erik Jan Hanussen (Klaus Maria Brandauer), he sets himself up as a clairvoyant in a Berlin theatre. He predicts the rise of fascism and the election of Hitler as Chancellor, thus ingratiating himself with those in power. Based on a remarkable true story, Szabo's third collaboration with actor Klaus Maria Brandauer tracks Hanussen's rise in parallel with the Nazi regime to dark, mesmerising effect.
