Most plays don't necessarily translate well to television or film. This film with only three cast members such as the divine Francesca Annis (why isn't a Dame); Daniel Craig and Stephen Rea. Annis played wife, Margrethe to Rea's characters, Neils Bohr. Craig played Werner Heisenberg, a German Jewish physicist. They meet together in Copehagen, Denmark where the Bohrs lived well in a beautiful home in 1941 in the midst of World War II. We learned that this isn't about escape from Nazi occupied Europe but about physics. While most people like myself are ignorant about physics, the play is a dramatization of their meeting. There is not much acting but plenty of talking and even talking over with thoughts by the cast members.
