YOUNG EINSTIEN (PG) Presented in 35mm

Young Einstein at Revival House Perth

Experience Yahoo Serious's utterly unique 1988 Australian comedy that reimagines Albert Einstein as a wild-haired Tasmanian apple farmer who accidentally discovers the theory of relativity while trying to put bubbles in beer. When young Albert Einstein splits his first beer atom in 1905, he sets off a chain of events that leads him to Sydney, romance, and a race to prevent his formula from being used to create the atomic bomb.

Yahoo Serious writes, directs, and stars as the lovably eccentric Einstein, creating a character who's part scientific genius, part country bumpkin, and completely unforgettable. His slapstick physical comedy and innocent charm transform the world's most famous scientist into a distinctly Australian folk hero.

Serious's inventive direction creates a surreal alternate history where Einstein surfs, plays violin, and falls in love with Marie Curie while accidentally revolutionizing physics. The film's anachronistic humor and visual gags create a world where historical accuracy takes a backseat to pure imagination and Aussie irreverence.

Odile Le Clezio brings French sophistication to Marie Curie, while John Howard provides villainous energy as Preston Preston, the evil businessman trying to steal Einstein's discoveries. The film's celebration of Australian culture and anti-authoritarian spirit creates comedy that's both uniquely local and universally appealing.

This cult classic became an unexpected international success, proving that sometimes the most original ideas come from the most unexpected places.

Presented on authentic 35mm film for the true cinematic experience!
