The biopic Steve Jobs is not due to be released until next month but attendees at the Telluride Film Festival got an early look over the weekend to see the result of Danny Boyle's directing, Aaron Sorkin's writing and Michael Fassbender's acting.
The late Apple founder was a figure of controversy. No one could deny he was a visionary but he was definitely lacking in the empathy department, a genius tyrant that people both admired and loathed. Shot mostly as backstage scenes to major keynotes for Apple, the biopic highlighted the 1984 launch of the Macintosh, the NeXT in 1988 and the iMac in 1998, while touching on some key aspects of Jobs' personal life, like his relationship with Steve Wozniak and Lisa Brennan-Jobs, his daughter.
