An ambitious debut from Darren Aronofsky....

Rating: Null/10 (22 January 2011)

Lately I have become a bigger fan of Aronofsky after seeing his great films like Black Swan, Requiem, and The Wrestler, so it was only fair that I would see his debut. It is a very interesting film, which I figured it would be. The first film that Pi automatically reminded me of was the debut from Lynch- Eraserhead. The worlds in which are created in the two films have the same sort of mood and tone, and if anything, this is a great feat for Aronofsky. The film is not hugely entertaining, and it is a hard film to love, but certainly hot hard to respect it. It is a hugely ambitious film with a lot of clever and unique ideas and scenes thrown in. It is also about the madness of a character, which Aronofsky's films always tend to be about. It works in a visceral level like most of his films, and it certain to warrant repeat viewings.
