Affair: The Theory of Everything Screening and Q&A with Eddie Redmayne

When: Wednesday, January 28, 2015 @ 8:00PM

Hot Spot: The Landmark, 10850 W. Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA

Deets: Professor Stephen Hawking knows more than most of us — about the universe, yes, but also about how to live a full life in it. This remarkable chronicle of one of the greatest minds of our time is also the story of an unstoppable spirit.

Young Hawking (Eddie Redmayne) is both brilliant and awkward as a Cambridge graduate student. Even as his ideas about theoretical physics and cosmology challenge his peers and his teachers, he struggles to find his place. Just as he's beginning to show flashes of a quick-witted charm, he meets Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones). Although her intellect is merely sharp rather than intimidating, she can more than hold her own with Hawking, and they fall in love.

Director James Marsh has shown a knack for telling remarkable true tales in documentaries like Project Nim and the Academy Award-winning Man on Wire. Here he crafts The Theory of Everything as, above all, a love story. Stephen and Jane are a unique couple — bright, curious, thoroughly unconventional. When Stephen begins to show symptoms of motor neuron disease, he and Jane both tackle the challenge with exceptional strength. 

A Q&A with Academy Award Nominee actor Eddie Redmayne follows the screening.
