FILM OF THE WEEK A fortune out of spent pennies


⭑⭑⭑
DUBBED the “oracle of urine,” this fascinating and complex drama set in the 1950s is based on the little known but real-life story of Czech herbal healer Jan Mikolasek, who could diagnose people’s ailments just by looking at their pee. 
 
 
Shot in a highly artistic, almost reverential way it makes for gross yet strangely enthralling viewing as Mikolasek (an outstanding Ivan Trojan) holds glass bottles full of his patients’ urine up to the natural light and examines them.

Mr Jones has just been released in the UK and Holland’s work-rate is clearly prodigious, because she returns with another big period picture from Europe’s painful heart, torn apart by totalitarian ideology, this one scripted by Czech screenwriter Marek Epstein. It is intriguing, if a little frustrating: the lightly fictionalised story of Jan Mikolášek, the Czech herbalist and faith healer who became a cult figure in the 1930s. He treated rich and poor alike, accepting powerful Germans as his patients during the Nazi occupation and then communist officials after the war. ....
