The Magus (1968)
A second watch in the space of ten days for this Greek set oddity starring Michael Caine, Anthony Quinn and Candice Bergen.
The photography remains stunning as does the beautiful Bergen but the plot is all over the place. Probably best summed up in a documentary interview with Michael Green (Son of the director Guy) who acted in the film. The actors didn't know what was happening, those behind the camera didn't know either, even author John Fowles was clueless so he rewrote his novel a few years later.
I doubt i'll bother watching it again.
