Tesla is nothing short of a vision.
From first to last, Nikola Tesla’s days were hardship. No matter. He never stopped trying to make the world a better place. His freight train brain wouldn’t allow it.
The movie is just moments, but moments that encapsulate his tortured, hopeful life.
Dark colors, wildly different music, and quirky narration keeps us uncomfortable, but close. Every scene asks: Can you feel how he hurts? See how he stands out?
It’s a movie about ideas hundreds of years ahead of their time. And it’s told in a way only slightly less striking.
