LA TUA VALUTAZIONE

Frank, a once brilliant scientist and professor, is haunted by a discovery in his past and may be quietly going mad. Jordan, a student with a photographic memory, is on the verge of flunking out of school and desperately attempts to attach himself to his reclusive and eccentric professor. Nigel, suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease and feeling socially inept due to his physical inadequacies, tutors Jordan as a means to maintain some kind of bond. Through these intertwining three lives, secrets unfold in a provocative tale of science, philosophy, blackmail, isolation and hope.

Winner of the 2003 Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize; Nominated for an Independent Spirit Award; Official Selection of the Toronto International Film Festival and Slamdance.

great film great future

Ryan is a great young filmmaker. I have seen hundreds of professional reels and shorts and while there are lots of talented filmmakers out there; Eslinger is the real deal.

It's rare that a young person can take such a small amount of money and make a successful film, so many things can go badly wrong. Madness and Genius is a good movie that stays with you. Tom Noonan is great and while I don't disagree about the poor supporting cast the technical aspects of the film are top notch.

Another thing to note: Ryan must be a focused young man because this movie is 'tight'. It feels like a testament to someone who spent their money carefully and put a LOT of time into this project. See it if you can (not sure how) and let people know it's a great movie.
