Infinity (1996)
9/10
It's a loving look at the early life of Richard Feynman
2 November 2002
Warning: Spoilers
This takes you through the early life of Feynman to the end of the Manhattan project and the death of his wife from tuberculosis. One will note the irony that she died of the disease only a very few years before antibiotics could have saved her. The love story of man and wife is tenderly told and nicely photographed against various backgrounds including Bandolier Cliff Dwellings in New Mexico, near Los Alamos. The actual scientific work of Feynman and the others is referred to obliquely for the most part, sometimes in conversations between the couple. Critics have properly complained of the choppy editing and a tendency to wander off the subject into irrelevancies. But still, it's a lovely film about the sad, and busy, early life of a great physicist.
