ON SCREEN: Pi
1998. Directed by Darren Aronofsky. Runtime: 84 minutes. Rated R.
In NYC’s Chinatown, reclusive mathematical genius Max (Sean Gullette) believes “everything can be understood in terms of numbers,” and looks for a pattern in the system, while plagued with debilitating headaches and extreme paranoia, manifested through menacing hallucinations. His obsession to find underlying complete order in the real world and contrasting two seemingly irreconcilable entities: the imperfect irrationality of humanity and the rigor and regularity of mathematics, specifically number theory.
As Darren Aronofsky’s first feature film, he uses stark black-and-white imagery to create a sci-fi world, crafted by music and cinematography and built without expensive special effects.Â
