This film really captures the true feeling of Krim Jacob. The despair and frustration the real Krim must have felt really comes through in Graïa's performance. Especially the scenes where our subject is lost in the forest of the Mures Valley or during the meaningless struggle to keep the Transylvanian academy of graph theory and occult combinatorics open. Otherwise Mr. Clay's acting as Eugène really stands out. That being said, much of the other acting is not as good as this legend deserves. My verdict: 8 out of 10
P.S "The man from earth" is another film based on the legend of Krim, but this one is better.
