A love story that continually cuts back to RamanujanвЂ™s wife pining at home in India is prolonged and unproductive. World War I somewhat disrupts the serenity of the Cambridge campus, requisitioning young men for the war effort and setting up hospitals on the college quads. This push and pull between pure mathematical assertion and Western academiaвЂ™s need for meticulous substantiation provides the crux of the movie, along with issues of class difference that prevented these exemplars of the British Empire from viewing the dark-skinned Tamil as a potential equal. Hardy, an avowed atheist, was quick to perceive RamanujanвЂ™s genius and arrange for him to come from India to study in England, but was mightily frustrated by the young mathematicianвЂ™s lack of proofs for his theories. Although the young Tamil man received some formal schooling, his mathematical abilities were self-taught, or as he later explains to Hardy, they are expressions of God. A helpful epilogue explains that RamanujanвЂ™s 100-year-old theories have now proved critical in the study of black holes вЂ“ the most practical takeaway I gained from the film.ДЄdapted for the screen by writer/director Matt Brown from Robert KanigelвЂ™s book, The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan, the film primarily focuses on the relationship between the prodigy Ramanujan and his Cambridge University mentor G.H. Yet even though the details of RamanujanвЂ™s genius were lost on me, the film introduced me to this towering figure in his field, a man about whom I previously knew nothing.

The dutiful portrait, along with the obscurity of the filmвЂ™s mathematical formulas and postulations for the general viewing audience, is likely to make this outing seem more slog than jog.
