To screen today Friday 6.30pm at the Microcine room of Centro Cultural Recoleta is Ron Howard’s “A Beautiful Mind”, featuring Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris. Following the screening there will be a debate-talk on the subject.

The film tells the story of maths prodigy John Forbes Nash’s tortured life, dating back to his days at Princeton University, his relationship with his friends and future co-workers, his obsession to develop a brilliant theory and the beginnings of his mental illness, diagnosed years later as schizophrenia.

Based on the eponymous book by Sylvia Nasar, “A Brilliant Mind” garnered numerous awards, including four Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress in a Supporting Role (Jennifer Connelly), and Best Adapted Screenplay.
