Reviews

The object of every man's fantasy and the greatest mind of the century are about to meet. A New York night in 1953. Fans crowd the sidewalks and the famous hide out in bars. Four 20th Century icons, Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe Dimaggio and Senator Joseph McCarthy are dropped into a melting pot of the sexual and the cerebral. The group is forced into conversation and each of them learns they have more in common with the others than they originally thought. Accepted notions are reversed. Marilyn demonstrates the Theory of Relativity. Albert Einstein shows off his legs and the Senator's sweaty impotenence is shoved up against a ballplayer's psychotic tenderness. But locked inside them all are other things. Memories. Childhood and compromise. Bubblegum heroes and profound fears. Hiroshima nudges against New York. 1953 slides into 1985.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing 26 May 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very poor quality transfer with muddy colour. Looks like a poor VHS copy. Surely there has to be a better version than this?

2.0 out of 5 stars Great film, awful DVD 7 Jun 2012
Format:DVD
The film is great - sparkling with wit, thought-provoking, and with original idea behind it. While not exactly representative for Nicolas Roeg's style (it's lighter in tone and with many humorous elements), it's a wonderful classic, highly recomendable.
The DVD edition, however, rates one star at best. No subtitles are provided, and the transfer is awful - watchable, but really poor. Like one other user wrote - looks like a bad VHS rip. After watching the film and deciding I want to permanently keep it in my movie collection, I went on to download the movie via torrent, and only then did I get a decent quality copy with subtitles on top.

5.0 out of 5 stars insignificance 6 Feb 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I thought this film was an excellent piece of entertainment inside which was a very clever introduction to Albert Einstein's theory of Special Relativity. It was explained in very simple terms and fitted in
very well with the rest of the plot, which was also fascinating. I have read before about the alleged interest that Marilyn had in Einstein's Theory and she apparently married Arthur Miller to try and get
some culture which clearly did not work as he was not into patience and tolerance. She should have kept to professors!
If you want a film similar in some ways to this one try " Whatever Works " it's brilliant.
