Zero
Theorem
(2013)
Johnny's
comments:
The
Zero Theorem is a comedy
about Qohen Leth
(Christoph Waltz) who is a
computer programmer who
hates his job and his
whole miserable existence
mainly because he doesn't
know what his purpose in
life is. One day his boss
Joby (David Thewlis) calls
him into work and invites
him to a party. At the
party, he is summoned to
meet Management (Matt
Damon) who gives him the
task of solving the
impossible Zero Theorem
and that he can do it from
his home, a rundown
converted church. As this
problem is near impossible
and it could make him go
mad, Management sends him
Bainsley (Mélanie
Thierry), to relieve his
stresses and his own son
Bob (Lucas Hedges) who
helps him keep his
equipment running
smoothly, while a computer
doctor Dr. Shrink-Rom
(Tilda Swinton) diagnoses
him with numerous
conditions. But, when
Qohen discovers that
Bainsley is actually
prostitute/webcam model
and that Bob is dying from
a chronic disease, he
finds that his whole life
may indeed be meaningless
and that he's just another
cog in the wheel for
Management to manipulate.
From Terry Gilliam, who of
late has been more miss
than hit, The Zero Theorem
is another frustrating
wacky movie to add to the
collection. As usual,
everyone acts wacky with
Qohen always speaking
obnoxiously in first
person plural and Bob
calling everyone Bob and
Tilda Swinton being
well... Tilda Swinton and
that before a mostly
incomprehensible plot
about whatever Qohen is
doing. If you're a Gilliam
fan, you'll probably like
it, otherwise, probably
don't bother.)
