John Dee — O cientista que se perdeu falando com o além | Documentário

In this biographical documentary, we delve into the extraordinary and enigmatic life of John Dee, one of the most fascinating figures of Renaissance England. A brilliant mathematician, astronomer, cartographer, and advisor to Queen Elizabeth, he was also a man who dedicated the last years of his life to the conviction that he conversed with angels. In this carefully reconstructed narrative, we follow his complete trajectory, from the child prodigy born in a winter London to the forgotten old sage, bent over a black mirror from which he swore he heard voices. Across ten chapters, we explore the great moments of his life. The young Cambridge genius who built a mechanical insect possessed by witchcraft. The student who immersed himself in the continent's forbidden books in search of a hidden order in number, language, and the stars. The man imprisoned under Queen Mary for reading Princess Elizabeth's stars, and later elevated to the position of trusted astrologer to the crown. The creator of the largest private library in Europe, in his home in Mortlake. And, above all, the strange partnership with the seer Edward Kelley, the sessions before the stone and the mirror, the birth of a language that was said to be the language of angels, and the long pilgrimage through Prague and Bohemia that ended in ruin. This is an educational and documentary work, designed for those who appreciate history, science, philosophy, and the great enigmas of human thought. In addressing the most controversial episodes of John Dee's life, we seek to present the different existing versions and interpretations, without imposing a single verdict, respecting the complexity of a figure who was, at the same time, a genius and deluded, wise and credulous, admired and feared.
