With its intense atmosphere and clever plot, this film is a captivating exploration of intellect and survival. ## Description 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. Review: Brilliant Spanish psychological thriller - It is very hard to review this film without spoiling the plot but I will try my best. A group of very different people receive individual invitations to a dinner hosted by a genius. They all eventually decide to go, to find on arrival that their host is missing. Soon after dinner, they find that they have to solve problems against the clock. If they fail to do so, something nasty happens. What is the reason for this ? What is the connection between the characters. Can they solve the problems in time? All is revealed eventually, with great twists and turns that keep you guessing. If it sounds a bit like an Agatha Christie play, you are not a million miles away. However, it is crisper, better plotted, and better acted than most of hers will ever be. One for fans of World Cinema and mystery thrillers, none of whom should be disappointed by this Spanish mini-classic. Review: a thriller which didn't quite - It has a reasonably straightforward plot, but there is little mystery or suspense involved, and after the Cube it showed itself lacking. It was a room which would eventually crush its victims to death, and bit by bit, in the midst of performing logic tests to stay alive, the victims work out why they are to be murdered and by whom. There were scenes upon which the plot depended which were outside the killer room, and I feel that although this was necessary, it watered down the plot, and suggested there was a way out for the victims, not the unending suspense of its forbear the Cube, which strongly disorientated and tortured the victims. It took the viewer's attention away from the room. The subtitles were difficult to read, the contrast was poor, but necessary because the script is in Spanish, and I found myself constantly going backwards to catch up on the text, whch was a needed part of the plot. It was reasonable entertainment, but it'll be a while before I view again ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001ASPZ2E | | Actors | Alejo Saurus, Elena Ballesteros, Federico Luppi, Lluís Homar, Santi Millan | | Best Sellers Rank | 66,600 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 2,215 in World Cinema (DVD & Blu-ray) 6,007 in Horror (DVD & Blu-ray) 7,681 in Thriller (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (79) | | Director | Luis Piedrahita | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5060018489889 | | Language | Spanish | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 18.8 x 13.6 x 1.6 cm; 80 g | | Producers | Adolfo Blanco, Cesar Benitez, Jose Maria Irisarri | | Rated | Suitable for 15 years and over | | Release date | 7 Sept. 2009 | | Run time | 1 hour and 32 minutes | | Studio | Revolver Entertainment | | Writers | Luis Piedrahita, Rodrigo Sopena | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Colour - **Format:** PAL - **Language:** Spanish - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 32 minutes ## Images ![Fermat's Room [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fpE8ET6fL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Spanish psychological thriller *by B***E on 23 October 2010* It is very hard to review this film without spoiling the plot but I will try my best.

It was reasonable entertainment, but it'll be a while before I view again ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A superb, mathematical mystery thriller *by J***N on 4 July 2011* Fermat's Room is a well paced mystery thriller to keep you guessing throughout as four mathematicians, at different moments in their careers and lives, come together to discuss a mathematical problem in a remote and unknown location. The mathematicians in question are thoughtfully written and provided with a nugget of background to help succinctly establish their character prior to the meeting in Fermat's room. All are portrayed with sufficient realism and intrigue to ensure the somewhat far-fetched premise (of mass-mathematician-murder) is not undermined by cliché and novelty but that it instead carries with it the weightiness of Mathematics and it's historical baggage of glory, madness, logic, jealousy, despair etc. all of which is cleverly referenced throughout, sometimes discreetly and other times neatly woven into the narrative. The eventual revelation of the groups predicament is dealt with somewhat candidly by the characters, but in a befitting manner were such a situation to arise amongst logic-driven intellectuals (as opposed to panic-prone, angst-ridden teens), and because of this, the slow and relentless nature of their inevitable doom, as the walls start closing in, correlates effectively with the escalating tension and emotion in the room, enabling the film to progress to a satisfying climax. As the four mathematicians are beset by a number of enigmas to prevent their impending demise, we are given a little enigma in each of the four mathematicians, whose secrets are gradually revealed in order to uncover the reason for their entrapment. All this is very well managed, using a stylish, red walled, almost grandiose and inviting set, but ultimately intended by their captor as a cramped, claustrophobic tomb. To conduct a film in such a setting is a highly credible technical achievement in itself and provides the perfect environment for the tension, drama and secrets to unfold. There are titbits of humour throughout; some intentionally - in the clever script as a character infers from a logic problem the nature of individuals in the group, and some unintentionally - in the Black Adder-esque opening title sequence as a black-gloved hand is seen arranging a scale model of Fermat's room (comic-gothic-noir?). Intended or not, all the humour lends an aspect to the film which helps evolve the premise of four mathematicians trapped in a room to four identifiable, likeable and complex human beings trapped in a room. Rather than just victims, we see people. What I would have enjoyed more of, (which is in part provided by deleted scenes in the special features), was more detail in the establishment of the characters, with which to refer to later in the film as revelations are made and the pieces of the puzzle slot together as the ultimate enigma is unveiled. It was apparently the two directors decision to omit these background scenes in response to audience feedback and also because they were deemed non-essential for the story arc and may arguably have detracted from the pace of the film, which is a tidy 90 minutes after all. Also, if you're not a Spanish speaker the subtitles may be a little on the small side and sometimes lack contrast from the background, which can unfortunately detract from subtle nuances within the script, unless you have a keen eye. Despite these minor shortcomings, Fermat's Room is a thrilling and enjoyable treat, based on a simple premise performed and directed very well and though in a contemporary setting, there is an old fashioned feel to it, evoking aspects of classic noir and relying on good acting and story telling above all else. I'd recommend it to all but the most claustrophobic of mathematicians. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/48545695-fermats-room-dvd](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/48545695-fermats-room-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
