'Le Théorème de Marguerite'

Le Théorème de Marguerite is a movie that had its first showing at the Cannes Film Festival last year, and the protagonist played by Ella Rumpf had a great deal of praise winning a César award early this year as Best Female Revelation. Marguerite is a brilliant young college graduate that is working on a demanding thesis about the Goldbach’s conjecture, one of the oldest unsolved problems in number theory in all mathematics. When she is interviewed at the beginning of the story we get a gist of the girl: glasses, nervous, socially awkward, always with slippers on her feet because she says “they are more comfortable”.

Groundbreaking new process!

Scientists have used a new technique to synthesize diamonds at normal, atmospheric pressure and without a starter gem, which could make the precious gemstones much easier to grow in the lab.

Beresin challenges the idea of the one-dimensional human being in defiance of any totality. She frequently endows her subjects with animalistic behaviors, while the numerous bona fide animals populating Beresin’s paintings exhibit human traits. There unfolds an artistic universe of sly humor and shenanigans that celebrate just clearly it has gone off the rails.
