Agnieszka Holland is not one for heroes and villains. The Polish director has revisited the darkest power abuses of Europeâs last century throughout her career â depicting the Holocaust in Europa Europa (1991) and In Darkness (2011), and Soviet Ukraineâs Holodomor in Mr. Jones (2019) â with an emphasis not on ideological divisions but the capacity within every human, tested by high-stakes oppression, for both great integrity and the pettiest ofÂ cruelties.
A deep moral ambiguity drives psychological suspense, too, in Charlatan, her loosely inspired biopic of Jan MikolÃ¡Å¡ek, a herbalist persecuted by the Czechoslovak state. Regimes come and go in a film set in the communist 1950s that flashes back frequently to the Nazi-occupied 30s, but the pressure on cit ....

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.
Mikolasek was a celebrated and devout healer who apparently treated several million people ranging from the poor to Czechoslovakia’s Communist leaders and high-ranking Nazi officials during the German occupation. ....

Charlatan review – inside the mind of a prickly mystic

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. ....

Charlatan review – a fascinating, frustrating tale of bottled-up emotion

Charlatan review – a fascinating, frustrating tale of bottled-up emotion
Peter Bradshaw
Only last year at Berlin, Agnieszka Holland presented Mr Jones: a big, brashly ambitious movie inspired by the life of Welsh journalist Gareth Jones, who proclaimed the truth about Stalin’s terror-famine in the Ukraine in the 1930s, when the liberal west had been content to overlook it.
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. ....

Charlatan (Šarlatán)

This review was first published for the Made in Prague and Polish Kinoteca Film festival in 2020.
Charlatan is based on the true story of Jan Mikolášek (Ivan Trojan) who learns how to diagnose patient s illness by examining their urine and treating them through herbs and faith.
Jan from the opening scenes has done well for himself with long queues outside his home and surgery seeking treatment. It’s a large operation employing nurses and auxiliaries in his hospital. He has a personal assistant Frantisek Palko (Juraj Loj) who dutifully sits in on the consultations taking detailed notes.
But this is post-war Czechoslovakia and the communist regime is in power with its agents and tentacles everywhere, and they don’t like his operations. As far as they are concerned, he is fraud exploiting the masses for self-interest. ....
