"Everything is a number", said Pythagoras. Or we can say, everything, from sub-atomic particles to the cosmos is made from ratios of numbers. The protagonist Max Cohen tries to find patterns. π is not a usual thriller. The thriller plays in Cohen's mind. If you are fascinated by mathematics, like me, you will like the movie very much.

Rarely has a director made such a stunning and thought-provoking debut as Darren Aronovsky makes with Pi. Shot in black & white, the film is brutal and unforgiving in its portrayal of the central character's quest for knowledge and the resulting struggle with his own pysche. Visually impressive with a clever and original script, the film deals with the theory that everything in nature is made of patterns and therefore can be explained by numbers. Max, the brilliant yet flawed young mathematician, strives to discover if a 'master code' exists that can explain everything from the changing of the seasons to fluctuations in the stock market. As his search nears its conclusion, he discovers that he is not alone in this desire to unlock what has previously been hidden. Music is a central part in the film - music itself being a pattern - with a powerful score from Aronoysky's collaborator Clint Mansell, as well as tracks from Massive Attack, Autechre and Orbital. Those beguiled by Aronofsky's style can see his use of music honed in his second film 'Requiem For A Dream'. At times raw but always powerful, Pi never patronises its audience and demands diligent attention from the viewer throughout. However, it more than rewards this with a genuinely innovative and original approach to cinema and a film that entertains, challenges and confronts our perception of the world around us.Read full review
