"Les Magiciens" is a weird thriller by Claude Chabrol with a story of an idle man that decides to help a premonition of a clairvoyant to come true. The plot is original but this film is not among the best of Chabrol's filmography. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Profecia de um Delito" ("Profecy of a Crime")
