Albert Einstein revolutionised ideas of space and time, mass and energy. But he
also revolutionised the image of the scientist. The picture of the dishevelled
professor became a trademark. With the documentary "Albert Einstein – Superstar"
by cine plus produktion1, ARTE presents the less well-known sides of the
pioneering physicist for the Einstein Year 2005. The film by Peter Scholl
presents the genius as a cult-forming myth of the 21st century and shows the
many facets of the Einstein cult in science, advertising, the cinema, art and
literature – true to Einstein's motto: "You don't need to understand the world,
you only need to cope with it.
