Above all, she excels at that transition between disappointed young doctor and crazed dictator...
...similar controversy surrounded Pasteur’s “discovery” of the microbe in the nineteenth century.) To what extent do we let medicine govern our bodies more than is necessary? And it’s difficult to avoid allusions to Hitler in the stiffly crisp and completely insane figure of Dr. Knock and the mechanistic modernization he envisions in his “medicine,” exposing the issue of whether modern medicine is actually kind of scientific totalitarianism...
