Movie #286 "Pi" was a disappointment. The repetition to the story got tedious, and it seemed to deal with the drug issue that Aronofsky so handily dealt with in his previous film "Requiem" in basically the same way -- so new ground thematically. It had shocking moments (I'll never look at a drill the same way), but it was a slighter story than Requiem, and I just found it tedious. I DID like the black and white photography (he always has beautiful images in his films), but I can't rate it any higher. It would be appreciated by a very small audience --- one, I don't seem to be a member of.
Average rating: 3.529
I gave it 2 stars
Pi
Pi: Faith in Chaos
(1998) R
This jarring black-and-white brain-bender written and directed by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) is a haunting examination of science, mathematics -- and one man's haunting numerical obsession. The story follows emotionally fragile number theorist Max Cohen (Sean Gullette), who's on the trail of a 216-digit number hidden within Pi that could unlock the secrets of the stock market ... and the universe.
