Camden Movie Reviews | Pick of the Indies | Spanish Film Festival

THE annual Spanish Film Festival closes tomorrow (Friday) with a screening of the superb Fermat’s Room.
Directors Luis Piedrahita and Rodrigo Sopena tell the story of four maths geniuses who are invited by the mysterious Fermat to spend 48 hours solving a head-scratcher of a puzzle.
This is like a very sinister Agatha Christie: the four are corralled into a room in an abandoned house, only to discover the walls are closing gently in on them. Unless they solve the riddle of why they are all there, what links them and who is trying to dispose of them, a grisly fate of crushed bones awaits.
It is truly spooky, brilliantly original and worth catching.
Fermat’s Room, including a question and answer session with the directors afterwards, starts at 8.45pm at the Cine Lumiere at the Institut Francais, 1 Queensberry Place, SW7. Tickets £7. 020 7073 1350.
