Weird trip into a mathematician going insane

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2000)

Pi is one of my favorite movies ever since I saw it in the movies. At that time I didn't really know what to expect, so the movie caught me right away. I was nearly hypnotized by the movie. The score and the strange camera work sucked me right into Pi, following the protagonist Max. He stumbles slowly at first towards insanity but gains more and more pace. This is shown in rather disturbing images that really got me hooked on this movie. The scientific part isn't very important for me, it just suits the story. Whenever I see Pi again, it grips me again. This is such an intense movie! Great work!
