The Man Who Saw Tomorrow

The Man Who Saw Tomorrow is a 1981 documentarystyle movie about the predictions of French astrologer and physician Michel de Notredame Nostradamus.

Welles, though he agreed to host the film, was not a believer in the subject matter presented. Welles main objection to the generally accepted translations of Nostradamus quatrains so called because Nostradamus organized all his works into a series of four lined prose, which were then collected into centuries, or groups of 100 such works relates in part to the translation efforts. While many skilled linguists have worked on the problem of translating the works of Nostradamus, all have struggled with the format the author used.Nostradamus lived and wrote during a period of political and religious censorship. Because of this it is said he disguised his writings not only with somewhat cryptic language, but in four different languages Latin, French, Italian and Greek. Not content with such obfuscation, Nostradamus is also said to have used anagrams to further confuse potential inquisitors particularly with respect to names and places. ........
