Starring John Heard (as the poet), Sam Waterston (the politician), and Liv Ullman (the physicist), the movie is a series of fascinating personal discussions about physics and living with the inevitable consequences of knowing about science. The actors crawl over the island, the landmarks, and tidal beach.

It's a lovely film, and well worth watching just for the tourist elements.
