Written and directed by Matthew Brown, The Man Who Knew Infinity is the true story of friendship that forever changed mathematics. In 1913, Srinivasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel), a self-taught Indian mathematics genius, traveled to Trinity College, Cambridge, where over the course of five years, forged a bond with his mentor, the brilliant and eccentric professor, G.H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons), and fought against prejudice to reveal his mathematic genius to the world. The film also stars Devika Bhise, Stephen Fry and Toby Jones. This is Ramanujan's story as seen through Hardy's eyes. (Rated P-13, 1 hour 48 minutes)
“The Man Who Knew Infinity stands on its own merit, thanks in great measure to Patel and Irons, who give us two engaging characters.” – Miriam Di Nunzio, Chicago Sun-Times
“Its craft is evident, its sincerity is admirable, and it's the kind of movie about which you can say, ‘There's not a hair out of place,’ and mean it.” – Rex Reed, New York Observer
