TESLA (2020)

TESLA. Michael Almereyda, director, script. Ethan Hawke, featured player (as Nikola Tesla).[1] USA: Millennium Media et al. (production); see IMDb for complex details of production and distribution.[2] Official site: IFC Films.[3]

This TESLA film is a complex combination of art-film documentary and "biopic" of, mostly, the adult, professional life of Nikola Tesla (1880s into early 20th c.),[4] with personal considerations and occasional fictional elements. It is relevant here for Tesla's attitude(s) that "Every human being is an engine geared to the wheel work of the universe" and "Machines is [sic?] an extension of people, not as the opposite of people."[5] See also for images of Tesla and others (including a murderer in the electric chair) encompassed in electrical apparatus and/or surrounded by electrical phenomena.
