Nostradamus Page #5

Synopsis: Recounts the life and loves of the physician, astrologer, and famed prognosticator; his encounters with medieval science and the Inquisition; and his early struggles with his visions of the future. The film is set in France in the 16th century during one of the periodic plague outbreaks (as opposed to the Black Death [mid-14th-century Europe] or the Black Plague [mid-17th-century London]). The film depicts Nostradamus's rise in influence, because of both his success in treating plague and his predictions, culminating in his appointment as court physician to Charles IX of France.

Then you are not better

than the lnquisition.

What is the difference

between silencing someone...

and sending them to the stake?

l understand, but it is

to dangerous for you.

lf you can't treat me as

an equal, find another woman!

What?

Or Scalinger.

lf he satisfies

all your needs...

why do you not sleep with him?

l did not mean to hurt you,

so stop this now!

You are both

leaving me behind.

The Ghajat al-hakim.

This is the most important

manuscript...

on Arabian mysticism.

Hurry, please. Please hurry.

Get my husband. Quickly!

Guillaume, it is nice to have

you here, thank you for coming

l know you are not used to it,

but...

can l ask you to please leave

so we can have some space?

You can all see

the baby later, thank you.

No, no, no. We are not going

to do it like that this time.

l would like to have

lots of fresh air.

Let us open the windows.

Please, bring me

the Ghajat al-hakim.

You do not need

to start that again,...

and besides, it is in Arabic.

When did you learn that?

At night when you were reading.

You are incorrigible.

What does that mean?

Take from life what is pure.

For living what is sufficient.

The first time

always takes longer...

because everything

is so narrow.

But the second time, believe

you me, whoop! And it is out!

With all your strength,

push! Push!

A little more!

Push!

lt is a boy!

lt is a boy!

lt is a boy!

Michel! lt is only a vision.

lt is me, Julius.

Come back.

You are alright.

The most dreadful images

plague me day and night.

An enormous tidal wave comes,

a colosal earthquake.

Everything destroyed.

Your cough is not

getting any better.

What are you doing

in the kitchen, barefoot,...

in the middle of the night

cooking jam?

l am not.

Yes? What then?

Jam.

l think l have discovered

something that preserves it.

Here.

See if it tastes

any worse than usual.

The Ghajat al-hakim.

Thank you.

You must go to Arles

as soon as possible.

The plague is broken out again

But it's a week's journey!

And l don't like leaving Marie

You must go!

The plague is

more virulent than ever.

l'll look after Marie.

Open the door!

lt is the Holy lnquisition!

We want to see Dr. Scalinger.

He is at the hospital.

lndeed.

You, stay here, Will...

Monsieur, you are

required to...

The matter cannot

be postponed.

The Holy lnquisition

will not...

l will answer all questions

tomorrow, goodnight.

Where is Nostradamus?

He is in Arles. Fighting

the plague. Goodnight!

Goodnight!

Stop! Why have you come back

so soon?

Something has gone wrong?

Where is my wife and

my children?

They are under guard

in the hospital.

They have got the plague.

Dr. Scalinger has come
