Pi

Intelligent, Spiritual, thought-provoking. Pi is the story of a mathematician, Max, who stumbles across a unique string of numbers. The string, apparently, is the answer to all of lifes questions. Within its 216 numbers lies the solutions to everything, from predicting the future to understanding God. Now everybody wants it, and Max, unfortunately is also a shut-in paranoid schizophrenic. The film is entirely about paranoia and strangely, that paranoia shifts over to you and stays with you when you leave the theater. Its shot on grainy, high-contrast black and white and gives you a sense of authenticity to it all. Its that senes of this is actually happening that makes Pi work as well as it does. It feels more like a documentary than just a regular narrative film.
