pretty good film

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 2004)

Quite exciting film, I saw it only last year, but I thought I p*ss on myself. The storyline.. I think that's not original, I advise you to read one of the greatest novel ever, written by Umberto Eco - The Foucault Pendulum. There you may find a lot of esoteric stuff about the Kabbala, Rosicrucians and others. I also liked that it was filmed in "Chinatown", where for 4-5 seconds you could see people practicing Tai Chi, or was it Chi Kung?!? I don't think that Max became crazy of Mathematics, because he mentions about his sickness when he was only a child (6 years, I think). The magic of this film is, that it's black and white.
