Wikipedia article
'The Book of Vision' is a 2020 psychological drama film directed by Carlo S. Hintermann (in his narrative feature directorial debut) and starring Charles Dance, Lotte Verbeek, and Sverrir Gudnason. Terrence Malick served as executive producer to the film.
It was selected as the opening film of the International Critics' Week at the 77th Venice International Film Festival.
Plot
In present day, young doctor Eva leaves her promising career behind to study history of medicine, questioning everything from her nature to her body, her illness and sealed fate. Johan Anmuth is an 18th-century Prussian physician in perpetual struggle between the rise of rationalism and ancient forms of animism. The 'Book of Vision' is a manuscript that sweeps these two existences up, blending them into a never-ending vortex. Nothing expires in its time. Only what you desire is real, not merely what happens.
