“The Theory of Margherita” is a story of female liberation that tells the story of the fall and rebirth of a young doctoral student in mathematics, the talented Ella Rumpf.
You don’t have to calculate mixed with feelingsThis is what Laurent Warner (Jean-Pierre Darroussin), professor of the Parisian École Normale Supérieure – known to everyone as ENS – often tells his doctoral student Marguerite Hoffman (Ella Rumpf). You have to know control your emotions when dealing with numbers, but for Marguerite the criticism that Warner would like to draw on her it falls apart when he presented the results of his research on the Goldbach’s logic: another doctoral student has just arrived from Oxford, Lucas Savelli (Julien Frison), whom Warner is surprised to follow, notice an error and he said it in front of everyone. And Marguerite’s life collapses around her: ashamed and desperate, she abandons the classroom but also her doctoral project. Wanting almost forever with mathematics.
About twenty minutes have passed since the beginning of the film and the French-Swedish director Anna Novion, 44 years oldhas put pieces of his work in the game, which he immediately took to the antipodes from combination of intelligence and madness which is often shown in movies about mathematicians and scientists. Only women in a world only manMarguerite will have to learn to take care of her own woman who will play an important role in her evolutionever since he has to find a place to go (it is definitively closed with the ENS and its scholarships. If the holiday must be clean, let it be known) and meets Noa (Sonia Bonny), an unemployed dancer of yourself not notice not even in the eyes of Marguerite, who had removed feelings with their classifications and connections not only from mathematics but also from her life.
This is the first of great change that Marguerite must do: rediscover that she has a body, a body that has its demands and needs (and that the girl will “satisfy” in the most direct and surprising way). It is the second one coexistence art, according to the needs of your partner, who is not exactly the quietest and most traditional one available. And the third finding is that mathematics belongs to you strict logic it can also have useful, sometimes illegal applications (when you get kicked out of the polling station because you show theillogicality of the question that you should ask your client) sometimes wonder, when you use your rational thinking to play – and win – in the the table is mahjong that melts in the area you live in (13th area).
Until mathematics, which Marguerite cultivated from childhood, helped her teacher mother correcting algebra homework of his students, he did not let his needs be heard again: the Chinese game, with its rules and its logic, also spoke the heart of the former doctoral student, who he began to think again on Goldabch and the myth which was formulated in 1742, according to which every number greater than 2 can be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers. The idea of the film is said to be still waiting revelation and Marguerite began to think about painting the walls of her room black to use them as black.
With the advice of mathematician Ariane Mézard equations (Absolutely real, according to the director) began to cover the wall and Marguerite saw them the fun of research, this time it involves the young Lucas in the journey of rebuilding his own identity, as a woman and as a mathematician. From which the old professor will withdraw, as if finding a new identity that the two doctoral students want earn in space (indeed, on the blackboard wall, which also invades Noah’s room) and not within a traditional scholarly way. And the young actress Ella Rumpf, deliberately unsightly from the hairstyle and a couple of a glass of wisdom old style, you know how to enliven as if you were the ugly duckling that rediscovers your beauty, this time by yourself mathematical intuitions. Along with a worthy one Caesar 2024 as the best female show of the year.
