A few caps and a video clip of British actress
Charlotte Rampling from movie Giordano Bruno.
Bruno was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and cosmological theorist known for his cosmological theories, which conceptually extended the then-novel Copernican model. He proposed that the stars were distant suns surrounded by their own planets, and he raised the possibility that these planets might foster life of their own. He also wrote extensively on the art of memory and mnemonics.
When living and teaching in Venice, his patron denounced him to the Venetian Inquisition, which had Bruno arrested in May, 1592, on numerous charges of blasphemy and heresy, his belief in the plurality of worlds, and accusations of personal misconduct. Bruno successfully defended his case, until The Roman Inquisition intervened and had him transferred to Rome where his trial started all over again. After seven years The Roman Catholic Inquisition found him guilty of infidelity, crimes of heresy and other things and had him burned at the stake in a central Roman market square.
Here’s a clip of Bruno explaining nature of the world to
Charlotte’s character.
