The Invention of Dr. NakaMats
(2010, dir. Kaspar Astrup Schröeder)
Meet Dr. NakaMats, octogenarian, demi-god in his native Japan, and the world’s most prolific inventor, holding over 3300 patents. (By comparison, Edison had only 1,093.) Some of his most famous include the floppy disk, the CD, the DVD, the taxi cab meter, Cinemascope, and even Karaoke. Here, in a vivid, often comic tour de force, Danish filmmaker Kaspar Astrup Schröeder takes us through the eccentric world of the great man.
