A film by Benita Raphan
2002
Sundance Film Festival, 2002. Full Frame Festival 2003
2+2 is the second in a series of short documentary or “genius films”, entitled They Were The Future.
2+2 explores the mind of John F. Nash Jr., a professor at Princeton University who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia in the 1950s shortly after writing his brilliant text Essays on Game Theory. Nearly forty years later, Nash would win a Nobel Prize in Economics for that very same paper. Narrated by the subject’s peers in economics and medicine and brought to life by a striking array of kaleidoscopic visuals.
