The Zero Theorem

[Stout]

I didn't find a thread on this. Man, I feel Gilliam was on his game with this one. Extremely strange and a real mind bender. I'm thinking I got the message he was putting across, but I could be wildly wrong. Definitely a must watch, IMO.

Plot Summary: Directed by Terry Gilliam ("Brazil," "Twelve Monkeys," "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"), "The Zero Theorem" stars two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz ("Django Unchained," "Inglorious Basterds") as Qohen Leth, an eccentric and reclusive computer genius plagued with existential angst. Living in isolation in a burnt-out church, Qohen is obsessively working on a mysterious project personally delegated to him by Management (Matt Damon) aimed at discovering the meaning of life - or the lack thereof - once and for all. Increasingly disturbed by unwanted visits from people he doesn't fully trust, including the flirtatious Bainsley (Mélanie Thierry), Management’s wunderkind son Bob (Lucas Hedges), his unpredictable colleague Joby (David Thewlis), and would-be digital therapist Dr. Shrink-Rom (Tilda Swinton), it’s only when he experiences the power of love and desire that he’s able to understand his own reason for being.

I feel like it would take multiple viewings for this one to sink in and I didn't like it enough to watch it again.

It could have gone completely over my head, but the message I got was that you should stop waiting for some sign or higher calling and instead just get after it living life. Life is meaningless anyway.
