One room. Four genius minds. The greatest enigma will be how to survive. Fermat s Room (La habitación de Fermat) is a stunning Spanish thriller, winner of numerous festival awards. The film stars two of Spain s best known actors; Santi Millán (Idiot Love) and Lluis Homar (Almodóvar s Bad Education and Broken Embraces) as well as the ever popular Federico Luppi (Pan s Labyrinth), Alejo Sauras, and Elena Ballesteros. Four strangers, who are all mathematicians, are invited to spend a weekend together where they will be challenged to solve a great enigma. Their mysterious host is only known to them by a pseudonym: Fermat. But the room in which they find themselves turns out to be a death-trap that will crush them if they do not discover in time what connects them all and why someone might wish to murder them.

No, no and no. I have a weak spot for similar films set in a enclosed space, but this one’s not good. You can’t take seriously a film where four genius mathematicians pretend to have trouble solving riddles that I knew already in middle school. There are moments when you can see hints that not even the film takes itself seriously, but I don’t believe it. The climax is so stupid and stupidly messy that it couldn’t work even on paper. A pity.
