There's no point in trying to deny it: for most people, maths was, is and always will be the school nightmare par excellence. Our daily lives may be totally digital today, but numbers continue to be a mystery for our brains. The cinema has taken hold of this seeming contradiction in terms, something of an unresolved trauma for contemporary man, and filled some of the best films of the past few decades with numbers, with mathematical geniuses and with conundrums to resolve. Helping to patch up our relationship with numbers, movies of astonishing narrative and visual fantasy have told the story of brilliant and creative minds - belonging to great scientists, to thinkers and to child prodigies - or of destructive and criminal minds driven by faulty logic like seemingly indecipherable mathematical puzzles. Maths in the movies has been allowed to give free rein to its fantastic capabilities and, through the chaos of mankind's activity, has pointed the way to possible future scenarios. Now the room darkens, like in a mathematical nightmare... but don't be afraid, it's only great cinema!
