“The Man Who Stole Einstein’s Brain” (2023) is a fascinating documentary that delves into the bizarre and little-known story of Dr. Thomas Stoltz Harvey, the pathologist who performed Albert Einstein’s autopsy in 1955. During the procedure, Harvey made the controversial decision to remove and keep Einstein’s brain, believing it could unlock the secrets of genius and elevate his own scientific reputation. However, this act set off a chain of events that would haunt him for the rest of his life. Despite striking a secret deal with Einstein’s estate to safeguard the brain for scientific study, Harvey’s ambitions were thwarted by the limitations of brain science at the time. Over the next fifty years, he cut the brain into 240 pieces and stored it in various unconventional places, including basements and car trunks, while his personal and professional life unraveled. The documentary explores themes of ambition, obsession, and the enduring allure of Einstein’s celebrity, blending archival footage, interviews, and Harvey’s own recorded words to paint a poignant and quirky portrait of a man consumed by his decision.
