The Theory of Everything

British director James Marsh's fourth narrative feature is also his best work besides his outstanding documentary "Man on Wire." A brief history of Stephen Hawking's life from his years at Cambridge University where he falls in love when a vicious disease breaks his body but not his brilliant mind through his years becoming a renowned physicist defying expectations with the help of his wife, family and friends. Based on the book by Jane Hawking, Marsh and writer Anthony McCarten bring the inspiring story of the Hawkings vividly on screen with a stellar cast and crew. Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones star with terrific performances as the couple whose love overcomes incredible obstacles. The stellar supporting cast includes David Thewlis, Charlie Cox amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of the 37th Mill Valley Film Festival.
