Synopsis

Shot on 16mm film on a meager budget, Darren Aronofsky's boldly original debut feature is as visually inventive as its is thematically daring. Filled with striking imagery, skillfully captured in black and white, the film follows the bizarre story of a lonely mathematician who may have unlocked the most significant numerical formula ever--a virtual key to the universe. His potential discovery makes him a highly desired commodity for a shady Wall Street analysis firm, while he is also pursued by an extreme orthodox Jewish organization that believes he is close to uncovering a numerical designation for the ancient Hebrew name of God. "Pi is a mesmerizing mind bender filled with smarts and kinetic excitement. Aronofsky is a visionary" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). Winner for Best Director at the 1998 Sundance Darren Aronofsky---USA---1998---85 mins.
