Add one Stephen Hawking and one Quentin Tarantino and set blender on warp

Rating: Null/10 (26 October 1999)

Darren Aronofsky creates a sense-arresting movie using 16mm film and swinging the camera around at all angles. You can't turn away as the film unfolds (visually, it's similar to "Tetsuo: Iron Man"). The story concerns a young math genius, computer whiz who discovers a 120-some number formula that is the formula that may unlock the key to the universe, and is under the watch of Wall Street "mobsters" and extremist Jews. Until the film unravels with a Forrest Gump-esque ending, it's a rollercoaster ride through the whiz's personal hell. Actually, the end fits, as, once the Pi-guy discovers the key, he realizes there is nothing behind it, it's just a number after all. A must see film!
