Take top tier acting and combine with a compelling plot... you are off to making perhaps a very good movie. Combine that with very bad directing, very bad editing (both video and sound) and a very bad musical score and you have a very bad movie.
Some have called The Magus one of the worst movies off all time. Nevertheless, I recommend watching it not for its entertainment value - but, as an opportunity to see great acting talent struggle with directionless directing.
And - oh - very bad 1960s clothing - gag.
Much of the supporting actors were actually pretty good. The cinematography was also very good.
Watch this movie and learn why it has a cult following.
