Surreal

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2020)

10/10 Masterpiece.Aronofsky's debut movie with low budget(60,000$).It is quite short and every second of this movie is super enjoyable.Can't lose a second of it.And yes,Max is obsessed with maths and has paranoia but the movie doesn't stop there.Max want to prove that the whole universe has been invented cause of Maths,so religion isn't real,there is no god,only maths.Maths,Maths and Maths again.Everything around us can be represented with numbers.Max can't ever look at the sun cause he can't accept the real world.He lives in a paranoia!He can't accept that everything leads to a dead end,so he wants so desperately to prove that maths made the world but he can't and this drives him crazy.The camerawork is very disturbing and in many moments feels like we are walking with Max in his world of madness and yes Max's acting is pretty believable.The black and white color is great,cause max doesnt see a light in this world.He is trapped in a dark-world with answers that doesn't exist.This movie contains lots of symbolism so a second watch is recommended.
