Boring
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This documentary is amazing! It's so great it actually makes me wonder if this really is a documentary and not just fiction. It might very well be the best work I have ever seen, all categories. Just the theme music alone is better than most movies!It's about Kenji Sugimoto, professor in Math and Science history at Kinki university in Japan. He has spent the last 30 years publishing works about Einstein and his personality. To complete his works he travels to America to find Einstein's brain.Mr. Sugimoto is clearly obsessed with Albert Einstein and in particular Albert's brain.
