Six people imprisoned in a complex maze of cube-shaped rooms. They don’t know why they’re there, how they got there, or what they’re supposed to do... But very soon they discover that the name of the game is survival, that they must solve the riddles asked of them and dodge the pervasive traps. Vicenzo Natali directs this claustrophobic and surprising movie that some years ago made a highly triumphant tour of festivals in the genre worldwide, bagging heaps of awards as it went. Since his first work he has continued to move in the fantasy world with titles such as Cypher (2002), Splice (2009) and Haunter (2013).
