Weird thoughts related to "The Zero Theorem" and Movies

This isn't even a full review or a complete organization of my thoughts. I just had one very simple thought, exercise, and question I'm going to propose.
Are "The Zero Theorem" and "PI" (1998) thematically linked?
Watch "The Zero Theorem" then watch "PI".
Ask yourself, if Gilliam, the screenwriters, and filmmakers are aware they thematically remade "PI"?
Plots: Man trying to solve a complex math puzzle things go nuts...also is bald.
I watched "The Zero Theorem" a few months ago so I don't quite retain all of it, I enjoyed parts of it, performance, set design, actors, costumes, but I thought the story was weak...but currently I am watching Darren Aronofsky's "PI" and finding certain similar thematic elements and I"m wondering if that was conscious or subconscious by the creators of "The Zero Theorem". "A Beautiful Mind" is a film about a numbers genius as well as many, many, many others however for some reason just thematically and maybe due to the fact that they are bald characters "The Zero Theorem" reminds me of "PI". As well as parts of "The Matrix" remind me of "PI". (Also the shots of him looking up a leaves on trees remind me of those shots in "Miller's Crossing" but I just got through reading that.)
