A clever comedy which takes a wry absurdist look at the domestic life of a certain Albert (Sean Hughes) caught up with the most mundane preoccupations while he gradually proceeds towards the formulation of his theory of relativity. Drole, stylish if a little too talky for its own good (GA).

Einstein explains relativity
franceskelsey17 February 2022
I've always been a big fan of Sean Hughes and have been looking through his past works. This one came up as it was a Venice FF nominee so I gave it a whirl. Though I'm trained as a physicist, I found this hilarious and while Sean is Irish, he perfectly encapsulated the discombobulated other worldliness of a genius adrift. While you may not be any nearer to understanding relativity by the end of it, this is a clever little comedy which takes on a massive subject in the a warped space-time of 10 mins. And Sean is great.
