| Albert Einstein - Superstar, 2005 |

Albert Einstein revolutionized ideas of space and time, mass and energy. But he also revolutionized 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."
