Pi (1997)
Country: US
Technical: bw 84m
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Cast: Sean Gullette, Mark Margolis, Ben Shenkman, Pamela Hart
Synopsis:
A Jewish mathematician is subject to violent attacks which he can barely control with drugs. While working on a pattern which might predict the ups and downs of the stock exchange, he stumbles upon a mysterious number when his computer fries. At the same time he is beset by business types trying to sponsor him (and use his discovery for their own nefarious ends) and Hasidic Jews who have for centuries been searching for a six-figure number encoded into the Torah which they believe is the name of God.
Review:
Unconventional thriller which stresses the paranoid viewpoint of its protagonist and employs a Nouvelle Vague shooting style. Intelligent, baffling at times and featuring a computer that seems to have strayed from a David Lynch movie.
