England, 1021: Born in a miserable mining town, Robert Cole swears to become a physician and vanquish disease and death.

Film editing allowed the audience to see both the criminals approach and the concerned rescuer

unlabelledView post →There's a movie called The Physician - not ten episodes - but close to three hours. The Black Death isn't the central premise, but it makes an appearance. I read the book (Noah Gordon) a long time ago. The movie is a decent adaptation.
unlabelledView post →I’ve had to do most of the work via early film viewing and research. Feature film is obviously bunk but cross-cutting for suspense was lifted from French cinema like The Physician of the Castle, closeups were pioneered by George Albert Smith in Seen Through a Telescope, etc.

THE PHYSICIAN II / DER MEDICUS 2 In cinemas from December 25th. Best experienced in the English original, if you can.
unlabelledView post →In the film, "The Physician," religion is triumphant even though its advocates diminish its credibility by over-reaching on to progress in medieval medical science in a Persian kingdom. In going too far, religion can lose credibility. thewordenreport-film.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-...

His 1914 ad claims the closeup (edited closeups were pioneered in 1900 by George Albert Smith, 8 years before Griffith made a movie) Sustained suspense he lifted from THE PHYSICIAN OF THE CASTLE (1908)

I read the book, back in the days when I read books, and the film stays pretty close to the nature of the source material. Good cast. #filmsky

unlabelledView post →It's a good movie, it entertains its audience well, but it's riddled with small historical errors that could easily have been corrected. Films about medieval times are always nice to watch, especially for me, who have a great affection for this historical period, about which I did a specialization as a historian. Unfortunately, and as happens regularly, this movie is full of mistakes. The script is quite good, from an entertainment point of view: an English orphan who is raised and trained by…
