I went to see this film last week...does anyone know if all the mathematical theories posed there are really true? It was a bit chaotic at some point...with this huge mixture of philosophical theories and math problems...Anyone with a clue?

Hi, Sabrina!

For all I know, Oxford Crimes is based on a novel written by the Argentine writer Guillermo Martinez. He is not only a writer, but also a mathematician (in fact, one of his books is called "Borges and Mathematics"), so they must be true.

Hope it helps!!!!!

Who plays the main role?

Hi there!

I think you may find this website interesting: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0488604/. It's my favorite site in relation to movies.

Here you may read info on "The Oxford Murders", the movie you are discussing. I haven't watched yet, but I'm planning to watch it soon.

By the way, there's another movie by Alex de la Iglesia, the director, which I really loved: "La Comunidad".

It's just great! Besides, Carmen Maura plays the main part: she's an excellent actress!

Hi, Guadalupe!

I totally agree with you. "La Comunidad" is a great movie. And I really enjoyed "El dia de la bestia", as well.

I haven't seen "Oxford Crimes" yet, because I want to read the book first. If you see it, please tell us what you think.

Cheers!

Hi Sabrina,

Do you recommend this movie?

Gabriel · 08-04-2008, 06:17 PM

Did you know that the book that movie was based on was written by an Argentinean mathematician who was a professor at the University of Buenos Aires? (A friend of mine was a student of a friend of his... really close, really close! but he couldn't meet him)
