The Physician (2013)
Directed by Philipp
Stolzl this film based on the novel of the same name stars Tom Payne,
Ben Kingsley, Emma Rigby and Stellan Skarsgard. In 11th
century England the apprentice of a barber is frustrated with the
lack of medical knowledge and heads to Isfahan in search of training.
It seems this film
departs from it's source material and I am not sure it is very
historically accurate either. At times the plot is a little bit
cliché and there is the odd line in the script that really grates. I
was not a fan of the lead actor's performance either but there are
some nice locations and scenery at least.
2/5
