Unforgettable!

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2011)

Whether one likes the film, "Pi", or not, one will simply not forget it. A super math geek, Max Cohen, finding patterns in everything, looks to use math to figure out the stock market. In the process, he is confronted by Wall Street people and Kabbalists who look to take advantage of his genius for their own purposes. Whether the universe is governed by pattern or chaos, is what drives the film. Max is symbolic of this, in that he is seeking order, while heading on a path to pure personal chaos, insanity. The film weaves interesting black and white cinematography, a pulsating soundtrack, and an excellent acting performance by Sean Gullette as Max, into a film which does make a viewer at least contemplate some pretty important things.
