Next up, a little film we failed to catch when it was at Sundance earlier in the year: in the before times…

Tesla

Written and directed by Michael Almereyda, Tesla is a bit of a different look at the life of the mythical inventor, Nikola Tesla.

Starring Ethan Hawke, Eve Hewson, and Kyle MacLachlan, this version of Tesla may be a bit of stretch for most audiences…

Have a listen as we discuss, and decide for yourself.

Synopsis:

A freewheeling take on visionary inventor Nikola Tesla, his interactions with Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan’s daughter Anne, and his breakthroughs in transmitting electrical power and light.

Tesla is from IFC pictures and opens in theaters August 21.
