A grand indie film and intelligent thriller

Rating: 9/10 (15 September 2012)

I'm a sucker for indie films and hearing that Darren Aronofsky (the master behind a few of the "Montana Meth Project" ads and films like Requiem For A Dream), I was sold. As someone who was always fascinated by numbers and patterns (though a C student in any general math class on average), I fell in love with the plot of the film; where a mathematican goes into a downward spiral of insanity over a number which he believes is the root of the universe and the stock market.
This is one of the very few rare films I've seen in recent years that not only opened my mind up, but also made me think. It's one of the most intelligent psychological thrillers I've ever seen and it's one of the best indie films and thrillers out there. Period. If anyone wants to have their minds blown, give this a go.
