Pi? poo

Rating: 2/10 (12 May 1999)

Pretentiously annoying artsy-fartsy pseudo-philosophy with a seriously deranged main character. Okay, he's brilliant, too; so what? It's still irritating to watch this nutcake sweat and shake his way through this tortuous exercise in mental flagellation. The totally unbalanced, disjointed, and grainily photographed (my, how gritty!) story will no doubt draw oohs and ahs from the arthouse crowd, but the rest of us will feel like taking a long walk in the sunshine after seeing this dog. I'm far from being a philistine, but pu-leeez!!!
