In 1992, Errol Morris<\/a> finished\u00a0A Brief History of Time<\/em>, about the life and work of Stephen Hawking<\/a>, the physicist who is often compared to Einstein<\/a> and who is paralyzed and has spent much of his life in a wheelchair. In this film adaptation of Hawking’s book<\/a> about the origins of the universe, Morris has woven together graphics, interviews and archival material in a story about both Hawking’s life and science. David Ansen<\/a> in Newsweek has called it<\/a>, “an elegant, inspirational and mysterious movie. Morris turns abstract ideas into haunting images, and keeps them spinning in the air with the finesse, and playfulness, of a master juggler.”

Morris’ interviews for the film have been incorporated into a book, A Reader’s Companion<\/a>, published by Bantam Books. The film appeared on many “top ten” lists for 1992, including Time, The Los Angeles Times and The San Francisco Chronicle.<\/p>\n
