Insignificance
1985 · ★ 6.4 · Dir. Nicolas Roeg
A comedy about life, death, sex, and the Universe... relatively speaking.
Four 1950s cultural icons who conceivably could have met but probably didn't, fictionally do so in this modern fable of post-WWII America. Visually intriguing, the film has a fluid progression of flashbacks and flashforwards centering on the fictional Einstein's current observations, childhood memories, and apprehensions for the future.
