Pssst... wanna buy a copy of PI real cheap?

Rating: Null/10 (10 October 1999)

PI was not what I was expecting. I really don't know what I was expecting, but PI was definitely not what I was expecting. Honestly, I thought it was the most disjointed film I have ever watched. The music was very moody, but at the same time time totally inappropriate. The Jerky-CamT technique and the spaced-out headache sequences led to the entire film looking like an acid trip. The film made me think, only for about 5 minutes though. The first 25 minutes were bearable and I still held high hopes for the remainder. Alas my hopes were dashed. The movie fell into an abyss of ridiculous dream/hallucinatory sequences and self-abuse. Needless to say, this is the last DVD I will buy on face value.
Ok, so maybe my entertainment tastes stray very little from mainstream cinema. I do like a few Art-House flicks and have been involved in the production of some very low-budget films.
As the old saying goes, "Opinions are like a**holes, everbody's got one."
