" Now I can feel guilty with a hundred different Gods "

Rating: 8/10 (18 September 2013)

Director Ang Lee teamed up with writer Yann Martel to craft this imaginative tale for the silver screen. It relates the story of a young Indian boy named Pi Patel (Suraj Sharma) growing up in India with a caring family and an acute sense of curiosity. Pressed by a sense of wonder and an insatiable drive to understand life, Pi and his family undergo a long and dangerous sea voyage aboard a Japanese cargo vessel. Encountering a huge storm and a shipwreck, Pi soon finds himself alone in a lifeboat with the remnants of what used to be a Zoo. The struggle to survive in a boat is arduous enough, but to maintain himself and a hungry Begal Tiger is doubly difficult. Still, the adventure taken by Pi to strange places unknown, prompts questions which lie between reality and mystical illusion. In addition the fantastic movie invites the audience to experience the incredible and harrowing ordeal with him. The result is a film not easily forgotten especially with the help of international stars like Gerard Depardieu. Easily recommended to all. ****
