Die Theorie von Allem
Set in 1962 at a quantum mechanics conference in an isolated lodge nestled amid the towering landscapes of the Swiss Alps, this is the story of a gifted young physicist, his curmudgeonly mentor, and an enigmatic jazz pianist who knows things about our wunderkind scientist that he's never told another living soul.
German director Timm Kröger - himself also a cinematographer - films his tale with an eye for the majestic natural beauty that surrounds our characters, effectively evoking the paranoid postwar era. Driven by astonishing twists and improbable coincidences, the film unravels a captivatingly complex chronicle with brain-tickling suspense. A comedy, a fantasy, a war drama, a spy thriller and an exercise in old-fashioned style at the same time. (Subtitles)
