Description: In this evocative, atmospheric biography, Roberto Rossellini brings to life philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal, who, amid religious persecution and ignorance, believed in a harmony between God and science.

Blaise Pascal follows the mathematician and philosopher (1623–62) from age seventeen till his death at thirty-nine. As for Pascal’s significance, we might get a simpler idea from a paragraph in a desk encyclopedia. In the movie, it’s the daily life of the seventeenth century we live, and it’s up to us to decide why he is important.
