Tesla is one of the very few biographical films that represent the life and work of the legendary Nikola Tesla, played by Ethan Hawke. The surrealistic elements the movie uses for fourth-wall breaking and anachronistic imagery capture the visionary imagination of Tesla while delving into his rivalry with Thomas Edison as well as funding his revolutionary work, such as wireless energy. Unlike typical biopics, Tesla throws light on the unacknowledged human factor of scientific brilliance—aloneness and single-mindedness. It is this audacious take on one of the most underrated geniuses of history that also reminds us of the price paid for progress.
