The Man Who Knew Infinity
Starring Jeremy Irons, Dev Patel, Devika Bhise
Written & Directed by Matthew Brown
Rating: *****(5 Stars)
How does one describe, let alone cinematically circumscribe ,the life of an unvarnished genius like Srinivasa Ramanujan who at the at the age of 32 had burnt himself out, scorned, smothered and snuffed out by his own unplumbed brilliance.
This is not an easy story to tell. Director Matthew Brown wisely follows the course set down by Robert Kanigel’s biography of Ramanujan. As seen through the prism of poignant artlessness and a belief that the mathematical genius flows from the will of God, true to the somber end to its unrehearsed design, the narrative seems to flow almost by divine ordinance.
The story of a simple human being with a complex mathematical mind that he failed to explain to himself, let alone to the world which marveled at his prodigious skills,...
