Genius is the new film by Michael Grandage, written by John Logan (Spectre, Skyfall, Hugo!) and starring Colin Firth, Jude Law and Nicole Kidman.
New York in the 1920s. Max Perkins (Colin Firth), literary editor at Scribner’s Sons is the first to sign such subsequent literary greats as Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. When a sprawling, chaotic 1,000-page manuscript by an unknown writer named Thomas Wolfe (Jude Law) falls into his hands, Perkins is convinced he has discovered a literary genius.
The film is filled with music! It alternates a jazz-infused fast-paced swing tunes with down-tempo 1920s melodies. Smoke-filled piano bar scenes with patrons of questionable ethics but impeccable rhythmic abilities are recurring throughout the film. All this music comes courtesy of Adam Cork, the Tony Award winning composer and longtime collaborator of director Michael Grandage.
The film was selected to compete for the Golden Bear at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival.
