Exploration of scientific themes combined with a little love and a good story

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2013)

A relatively unknown Belgian director explores some popular (and also some lesser known) issues in modern science: chaos theory, entropy, chance, choice, existence and the nature and direction of time (eg: what happens when the universe reaches its maximum expansion?). It is Schrödinger's cat outside the box, with a little love story intermixed (it's still a film, after all!)
Mr. Nobody starts out confusing, but remains accessible throughout, without doing injustice to the main themes. Good acting, some nice cinematographic gimmicks (restrained yet useful CGI, as it should be) and a good story line. It's Before sunset/sunrise (Linklater) meets Memento (Nolan).
In other words: probably the only film Leonard and Penny (Big Bang Theory) could watch together!
