LIFE OF PI (2012) **** Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Adil Hussain, Tabu, Rafe Spall, Gerard Depardieu, Sames Saito, Jun Naito. Ang Lee's masterful adaptation of the best selling novel by Yann Martel about a young man's survival of an ocean liner sinking castaway with only its other sole survivor, his family's zoo's Bengal tiger. Told in flashback with a few digressions about faith, religion, the human spirit and ultimately the meaning of life, this journey into one's soul is remarkably captured with impressive CGI (Richard Parker, the aforementioned fierce companion), gorgeously stunning cinematography by Claudio Miranda and a stripped down screenplay by David Magee propels the story with some amazing set pieces of nature unleashed as well as the inner voice we all share: what is my life REALLY about? Poignant, funny and ultimately life- affirming; a must see and the 3D is truly amazingly captured at full force.
