Marguerite’s Theorem on Netflix: Ella Rumpf faces a thesis failure

Marguerite’s Theorem is coming to Netflix. Anna Novion’s film follows a young researcher whose certainties crumble after she discovers an error in her thesis. Ella Rumpf plays the ENS doctoral student, alongside Jean-Pierre Darroussin and Julien Frison.

The only woman in her class, Marguerite has devoted her life to mathematics. When her proof fails, she leaves academia to discover another way of living, beyond the work that had structured her daily life.

Presented in a Special Screening at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, this drama opened in French cinemas on November 1, 2023. Its premise puts scientific research and the relationship with failure at the heart of its heroine’s journey.
