One of the year's best.

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 1998)

An awesome cinematic experience about a mathematical genius who may or may not have stumbled across the meaning of existence. He's chased by government officals, Hasidic mystics, and his own paranoia. Reminiscent of Lynch's Eraserhead, Pi is a wonderful movie shot in grainy black and white that tries to make sense of the universe using mathematical expression and shows most of it from the main character's perspective. One of the most orginal films I have ever seen and there is excellent use of trip-hop music on the soundtrack. Not for everyone, but for those who like experimental films and off-beat films, you will like this a lot.
