"Blaise Pascal"
1971
Directed by Roberto Rossellini
Generally considered
the finest of Rossellini's series of history films, this finely detailed portrait of life
in seventeenth century France was described by Rossellini as "the drama of a man who
develops scientific thought which is in conflict with the dogmatism of his deep religious
faith." Rossellini's portrait of the philosopher/scientist is also a speculation on
the nature of knowledge, cultural development, substance, space and time. French with
English subtitles.
131 minutes. |
