 Definition: 

Nostradamus
Like a "richly detailed visit to 16th-Century Europe" (L.A. Village View), "Nostradamus" is a riveting portrait of the French prophet who predicted some mankind. "Opulent" (The New York Times) and "entertaining" (The Hollywood Reporter), this visually stunning film showcases the turbulent life and eerily accurate prophecies of a man who was completely misunderstood. He foresaw both World Wars and accurately predicted the rise of Hitler and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. But Michel de Nostradame's colorful life didn't solely revolve around his amazing ability to see into the future. A Physician and astrologer, the brilliant Frenchman successfully fought against the bubonic plague and debated over science and religion with the finest thinkers of his time. But his visions and predictions terrified the ignorant, focing The Inquisitions to prevent this "heretic" from exploring the full range of his intellect. Frustrated by the gag order placed on his tongue , "Nostradamus" turned to the one medium where he could freely express himself without persecution...the written page.
