La fascinante histoire vraie de Nikola Tesla, le scientifique qui a permis par son génie le transport généralisé de l’électricité. Au cours de ses recherches et expérimentations, il trouve un rival à sa hauteur en la personne d’un autre découvreur, le célèbre Thomas Edison. Au milieu de cette vie tumultueuse, il va faire la rencontre de nombreuses autres personnalités électriques : le banquier super star JP Morgan – et sa fille – ainsi que la célèbre comédienne française Sarah Bernhardt.

A quite unconventionally conceived biopic that has its pros and cons, but gets stuck somewhere in the middle. I'm a bit disappointed, especially with the use of modern popular music, which is very inappropriate for the period in which Nikola Tesla lived. Especially at the end of the film, when Ethan Hawke tries to sing like a rock star. That really went over the line. The greatest value of this peculiar piece lies in highlighting the universally valid fact that exceptional historical figures often spent their last years in poverty and loneliness unless they embraced the idea of properly capitalizing on the talent they were endowed with. Thomas Alva Edison was probably quite a scoundrel in this regard, and Nikola Tesla, on the other hand, was an eternal dreamer, which in a way made him somewhat foolish. It's really disgusting how our world works. (55%)
