Pi

Rent & Buy
A mathematical genius discovers a link between numbers and reality, and thus believes he can predict the future.
What critics thought
Aronofsky's debut announced a genuinely unsettling new voice: a paranoid, low-budget black-and-white thriller that uses mathematics as a vehicle for obsession and unraveling sanity. Critics found it gripping and formally inventive, though scores suggest a small contingent had reservations — the balance tips clearly favorable without being universal acclaim.
“I am thrilled when a man risks his mind in the pursuit of a dangerous obsession.”
Roger Ebert·RogerEbert.com
“Pi transports us to a world that is like yet unlike our own, and, in its mysterious familiarity, is eerie, intense, and compelling.”
