Charlatan review – inside the mind of a prickly mystic

Charlatan review – inside the mind of a prickly mystic Wendy Ide © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: Everett Collection Inc/Alamy A local legend in the mid-20th century Czech Republic who scrutinised the urine of his clients and made diagnoses based on a blend of science and mysticism, Jan Mikolášek is a prickly subject for Agnieszka Holland’s latest biographical drama. Its title notwithstanding, the film expends little energy exploring whether or not Mikolášek’s healing gift was genuine. The recurring shots of him glowering at his own hands suggest that it was real, and as much a curse as a blessing.
