Fermat's Last Tango

About This Movie

Fermat's Last Tango is this quirky blend of comedy and musical that tackles a pretty heady subject—mathematics, specifically Fermat's last theorem. The atmosphere is light and whimsical, creating a sort of playful tension between the rigor of math and the joy of music. The performances are surprisingly engaging, making you root for Wiles in his quest for the proof. The pacing has this nice ebb and flow, marrying the academic with the absurd. It's distinctive in how it translates complex concepts into a more accessible narrative, without feeling patronizing. And those practical effects? They add a unique charm, grounding the surreal elements. Overall, it's not your typical biopic, and that's part of its appeal.
