Inside Bill's Brain: Decoding Bill Gates

If there’s never been a documentary quite like Davis Guggenheim’s inventive, slightly eccentric and wide-ranging epic, it’s in part because the world has never produced anyone quite like Bill Gates. A tireless problem-solver with a world-class processor above his shoulders, Gates is the earnest, preternaturally talented and laser-focused geek whose Microsoft rocketed us into a new era of technology. But now, Gates, in his 60s, has turned his attention - and $40 billion of his money - towards eradicating polio, providing clean water for the globe, and replacing fossil fuels with safe nuclear power. The Oscar-winning Guggenheim is clearly a trusted friend of the family; Melinda Gates feels comfortable enough to burst out laughing when he asks her to imagine what’s inside her husband’s cranium: “It’s chaos! It’s so much complexity!” (Telluride Film Festival)
