Tesla: Master of Lightning

About This Movie

So, 'Tesla: Master of Lightning' is one of those documentaries that really digs into the life and mind of Nikola Tesla. Directed by Robert Uth, it paints a picture of this fascinating character who, unfortunately, didn’t quite get the recognition he deserved during his time. The pacing is pretty engaging, moving through Tesla's groundbreaking inventions and his often tumultuous relationship with contemporaries like Edison. It feels like a blend of history and personal narrative. You get a sense of his eccentricities, sure, but also this underlying genius that was just ahead of his time. The atmosphere is both somber and celebratory, as it reflects on innovation, obsession, and the often lonely path of true visionaries.

Interesting portrayal of Tesla's life and inventions.Great use of archival footage and interviews.Highlights the conflict with Edison and Marconi.
