DAU. STRING THEORY

Duration 02:49:37
Synopsis
Nikita Nekrasov is a scientist, a theoretical physicist who studies our world and other possible worlds. He refuses to make a choice between mathematics and physics, between one woman and another, as he ponders the existence of the multi-universe. At scientific conferences, attended by eminent foreign scientists and a rising younger generation of physicists alike, Nekrasov gets carried away debating the beauty of string theory. He attempts to explain to all of his women ? Katya, the librarian, Zoya, the scientific secretary, Svetalana, the head of department ? about the theory of his own polygamy, and the possibility of having enough feelings to satisfy everyone.

Совершенно бездарный фильм. Если б хотя бы интересным персонажам давали договорить до конца, а не обрывали бы на полуслове, то можно б было о чем то говорить. А так просто очень скучно получилось.

Я просто охуел настолько это великолепно... Спасибо Илья Хржановкий. This is the first thing I've watched from the DAU project. I have been waiting for this for years. I think this marks a new era for cinema. Tarkovsky would be proud to see someone taking a new interpretation of what he called "Запечатлённое время" - which is, in my opinion, wrongly translated as "sculpting in time". It's rather "imprinted time". That is, life goes on (time goes by) and we select blocks of this flow of time and give them life on the screen (we print it to the screen). As a person who admires Landau (I studied physics and his books), this movie in particular was very interesting. It is remarkable how one might think that Zoya is acting when in fact she's just being herself... One small note, please review the english subtitles. For instance, sometimes "then" is used, but it should rather be "than". Amazing project, amazing f

I am noticing, having watched 6 DAU films, that the ones involving fascism tend to be the most interesting. This one, about Nikita and his harem, has its strengths and weaknesses. I like how Nikita broke the fourth wall at around the 1:53 mark. But as Zoya says, "A lot of words and movements that don't go anywhere." That is a perfect description of String Theory (as well as Nora Mother). Perhaps I'm missing something about Russian culture here, but not every audience is going to find all the pregnant pauses and dialogue and naturalism as interesting as the filmmakers seem to. I get what the film was going for here: the difference between describing the world in terms of physics, and the more mysterious and unstable world of romance and polygamy. However, I don't think the film needed to be over two hours to do so, and the heavily dialogue-driven DAU films tax me as a viewer. So much drinking, even the pigs and dogs drink in this world! Waiting for the rats to drink and light up.
