In the 1910s| Srinivasa Ramanujan is a man of boundless intelligence that even the abject poverty of his home in Madras| India cannot crush. Eventually| his stellar
intelligence in mathematics and his boundless confidence in both attract the attention of the noted British mathematics professor| G.H. Hardy| who invites him to
further develop his computations at Trinity College at Cambridge. Forced to leave his young wife| Janaki| behind| Ramanujan finds himself in a land where both his
largely intuitive mathematical theories and his cultural values run headlong into both the stringent academic requirements of his school and mentor and the
prejudiced realities of a Britain heading into World War One. Facing this with a family back home determined to keep him from his wife and his own declining health|
Ramanujan joins with Hardy in a mutual struggle that would define Ramanujan as one of India's greatest modern scholars who broke more than one barrier in his worlds.
The Man Who Knew Infinity might be a tad too conventional to truly do its subject justice, but Dev Patel and Jeremy Irons elevate the end result beyond mere biopic formula.
