Title:
Pi
Synopsis:
Darren Aronofsky scripted and made his directorial debut with this experimental feature with mathematical plot threads hinting at science-fictional elements. In NYCâs Chinatown, recluse math genius Max (Sean Gullette) believes âeverything can be understood in terms of numbers,â and he looks for a pattern in the system as he suffers headaches, plays Go with former teacher Sol Robeson (Mark Margolis), and fools around with an advanced computer system heâs built in his apartment. Both a Wall Street company and a Hasidic sect take an interest in his work, but heâs distracted by blackout attacks, hallucinations, and paranoid delusions. Filmed in 16mm black-and-white, the Kafkaesque film features music by Clint Mansell (of the UKâs Pop Will Eat Itself band). Shown at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival where Aronofsky won the drama directing award. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi
