Michael Emil plays "The Professor" and the amazing Theresa Russell plays "The Actress" in this scene from Nicolas Roeg's 1985 "Insignificance."

  • Theresa Russell is a dream

  • This is a wonderful scene ! And even better in context on the entire film from start to finish ! Thanks for posting. I have not been able to find it in 20 + years !!!! How do we start a campaign to get this released on DVD ? It really is a wonderful independent work.

  • Yeah, this does play as if it had been adapted from a play. Makes me hate the whole idea of plays.

  • I have the weirdest boner right now.

  • @iwieeuue You know, that's a common mistake. The actress, Teresa Russel is quite good. You suck.

  • light does slow down when passing through a medium (eg. air, water). the statements made throughout the clip are true (at least, as Einstein points out, have never been disproven) in the fictional but useful concept of an ideal vacuum.

    i'd quite like to catch this film; it is a very clever and well-written clip.

  • @jongib369

    the light doesn't slow down, it is just sucked in by the black holes infinite gravitational force.

  • light never slows down?...what about black holes?? thought that captures light...therefor slowing it down....or am I just an idiot who doesn't understand this theory

  • Sorry, that was @gemini12108

  • This is a movie of the play 'Insignificance' which was written by Terry Johnson.

  • Loved this film. Saw it in London when it first came out. But despite The Professor's gentle nature and obvious superiority to The Ball Player and others in the play, in reality Einstein was just as much of a pig to women...and some extremely SMART women....as any other man was at the time. Poor Marilyn. Some say her insides were destroyed by childhood rape.

  • Right? U Ready? Here We Go :)))))
