Official US Trailer

“This young man here is working on something very significant.” Oscilloscope Labs has revealed an official US trailer for a film titled **The Universal Theory**, a mysterious sci-fi-tinged thriller set deep in the Swiss mountains. This first premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival one year ago under the original title **The Theory of Everything**, and it earned mostly mixed reviews (mine is here). The noir film is set in 1962. A physics congress in the Alps. An Iranian guest. A mysterious pianist. A bizarre cloud in the sky, a booming mystery under the mountain. It’s “a quantum mechanical thriller in black & white.” Driven by astonishing twists and improbable coincidences, The Universal Theory unravels a captivatingly complex chronicle with brain-tickling suspense. Cast with a fantastic ensemble and interspersed with a dynamic soundtrack, The Theory of Everything is an intellectual film about the contingency of our world, in which much is possible and hardly anything is necessary. Starring **Jan Bülow** as Leinert, **Olivia Ross** as Karin, **Hanns Zischler**, **Gottfried Breitfuss**, **David Bennent**, & **Philippe Graber**. This is such a radical little film that I hope gets seen by more and more people now that it’s finally getting US release. Take a look at the footage below.

Synopsis

1962: Johannes Leinert travels with his doctoral advisor to a physics congress at the Hotel Esplanade in the Swiss Alps. An Iranian scientist is to give a groundbreaking lecture on quantum mechanics here. But the speaker, who is expected to deliver nothing less than a theory of everything, is late and the high society spends the interim with witty dinner parties and elegant skiing excursions. A mysterious pianist (Ross) captivates Johannes, but something’s not right about her. She knows things about him she can’t possibly know… When one of the German physicists dies in a monstrous way, two investigators enter the scene, suspecting murder. As bizarre cloud formations appear in the sky, the pianist disappears without a trace and Johannes gets on the trail of a secret that has taken root deep beneath the mountain. (Text translated.)

Conclusion

The Universal Theory is a thought-provoking and suspenseful thriller that explores the mysteries of quantum mechanics. With its unique blend of science, mystery, and suspense, it’s a must-see for fans of intellectual thrillers.
