Makes you think...

Rating: Null/10 (23 June 1999)

This is a gritty tale about the mental and physical tolls an obsession can have on a person. The film's main character, Max Cohen, is a brilliant number theorist obsessed with unlocking the secrets of the stock market using patterns of numbers...
The cinematography is very effective in this film, especially during Max's frequent migraine attacks. The use of black and white also adds to the dark ambiance of the film. It is a very intellectual work, and made me think a few times, but in a good way. Overall the movie is great, but the last 15 minutes or so leaves many things unresolved. Still, a wonderful film worth checking out.
