Writer-director Michael Almereyda is an idiosyncratic storyteller with an affinity for brainy radicals and the work of forward-thinking scientific minds, most recently in. Which makes him the ideal maverick artist to examine the life of enigmatic inventor Nikola Tesla, who developed the breakthrough practical application for delivering alternating current electrical supply.
Either way, the obvious personal investment probably has a lot to do with the long-ago origins of the project as a spec script written by Almereyda in his early twenties and optioned at that time for Jerzy Skolimowski.
Anne is a wry observer particularly of the rivalry between Tesla and Edison, with the former's old-world European reserve chafing against the latter's American brashness and vice versa. Tesla appears quietly appalled by Edison's greed, his fingers in so many developmental pies that he was simply too busy to give the scientific and mathematical calculations behind AC the serious consideration to make him understand that it could work.
But it makes her wonder, from a wistful distance, what Tesla might have achieved with someone of influence and financial means squarely in his corner. Westinghouse, a jolly, avuncular figure in Gaffigan's engaging performance, could only take him so far, and Anne's father capped his financial stake in Tesla's research into the wireless transmission of energy after his ideas became more impractical.
