The film “Genius” tells of the friendship between the writer Thomas Wolfe and his publisher Max Perkins.
Thomas Wolfe (Jew Law) is in his publisher’s office, kneading his hands together and at last move out with it. His new novel is finished. Of course, wants Max Perkins (Colin Firth) see the work immediately. But the author does not interfere in his pocket to pull out a manuscript, but waving in men in drag four wooden boxes brimming with described by hand, bundled sheets. About four thousand pages had Wolfe’s second novel “Of Time and flow” originally. Them remained in published book form left 1,200 pages. What lies in between, the process of compressing and editing – it is Michael Grandage “Genius”, which deals with the friendship of the eccentric author Thomas Wolfe and the legendary publisher Max Perkins, the next Wolfe also writers such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway discovered the literary world
New words and radical ideas – that takes a novel, around the small publishing house “Scribner’s & Sons”. to be printed. From both has Wolfe more than enough, and he can not believe it, as Perkins opened him “. We intend to print your novel” Just silent the exalted writers before a hot flow finely lathed, sincere words of thanks that escapes from him. “Genius” is fully on the contrast of temperaments: Here the gifted, hyperactive, self-centered, obsessed by his art and his skills impressed novelist who in concubinage with the married Aline Bernstein (Nicole Kidman) lives together and be happy in seedy jazz bars hanging around. There, the cultured and introverted editor who tames an animal trainer literary verbal orgies of its authors and brings in a salable format to after work the evening train to wife (Laura Linney) and five lovely daughters return to his suburban villa.

For this pair of opposites would Michael Grandage who is setting his feature film debut in scene, can not find any better actor. With Verve to Law thrown into brilliant overacting while Firth defends his reputation as a master of understatement. One never tires of watching the two, and the film manages ,, the reduction of a multipage novel exposure to 25 razor-sharp words to be a struggle between two heroes for world domination look like
.
the production of literature stunted in cinema often hastily over the paper counter springs to sedate cliché. "Genius" however, really conveys a sense both for the passion that is in the writing of a novel, as for the discipline that it takes for the taming of the words, but also for the human relationships that enable every work of genius - and only to . are often ruined by it
Genius, USA / UK 2015 director: Michael Grandage, with Colin Firth, Jew Law, Nicole Kidman, 105 minutes
