*MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS* Well thought out and acted story of German soldier suffering head wound in the First World War. Languishing in a hospital, he discovers he now is gifted (or cursed) with the ability to predict the future. With the advent of the end of hostilities, he travels in a roadshow with an army pal. He becomes the latest societal "caus celebre," as one could imagine. HANUSSEN (portrayed excellently by Klaus Maria Brandauer) gets caught up in the fame, while the depressing nature of his predictions spell doom for those around him, and the German nation. A very good film, deftly realized. Recommended.
