Paranoia Paranoia

Rating: Null/10 (1 February 2010)

One of Aronofsky's earlier films 'Pi' is a complex treat to watch. The director makes the film using simple devices. The black and white colour and hazy image shot with digital camera successfully create a very tense, detached and cold atmosphere. 'Pi' is clever, complex, engaging and absorbing. Cohen's world of paranoia and obsession is that of a web of odd characters, Wall Street, computer science, the Torah, Kabalah and of course, numbers. The slick editing maintains a fluid energy on screen and the unforgettable soundtrack fits the soundtrack terrifically. 'Pi' can be seen as one of the prototypes of the superb blend of soundtrack and movie. The acting too is very convincing. Sean Gullette does a very good job of leading the movie. Yet, the real winners here are Aronofsky and Clint Mansell (who came up with the score). Once again the director has created a unique film experience of paranoia for the viewers.
