The short life of Évariste Galois, the French mathematician. Fan of Blanqui’s revolutionary theories and convinced republican, Galois died from a battle wound in 1832, when he was only 22 years old. However he still managed to write a few pages of algebra fundamentals developing new ideas on teaching techniques. “My intention of making non traditional film biography is stated in the choice of Edoardo Sanguineti as collaborator in the writing of the script. We agreed right away on a series of elements, above all, that the formal aspect was fundamental and could also actively enhance progressive content in a participatory form. We wanted to make something that could go on TV, that was the client who commissioned us the work, mixing all of its languages together: reenactment, reportage, employement of modified and distorted archive material in a dialectical conflict.”
