I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Cela parle de maths ou pas ! Un film que l'on va détester ou adorer ...
A mathematician struggles to find the relevance of a number that taunts him in his stressed out life. It gives him head aches, induces hallucinations and blurs the line of reality. The story progresses as he tumbles down in paranoia only to find peace. His craze to find the significance of Pi is troubled by the attempts of others who search for the same cause but for their own personal benefits.The movie is unique in its horrifically smart style and portrayal of a deranged mind and the actions it can make him take. With lots of close ups and disturbing music, 'Pi' is one black and white movie for the psycho-movie crowd.
I love how this film makes you feel frantic. The black and white is darker than usual. The sounds are glaring sometimes. The pace that everything happens, makes you feel insane. This film is a masterpiece and shining star to what indie films can be if pushed to the extreme. One of my favorite films and love the story of the insane mathematician. Beautifully told.
This is a love letter to pure mathematics, but you don't need to be a math expert to love it. Although the advertising for this one makes it seem like a cryptic mind-bender, it's less focused on plot twists and more focused on frantic emotions.The main character is a recluse mathematician who is very sick, barely gets sleep and relies on amphetamines to push himself to his limits of cracking the one formula that's the solution to the world. Of course, he is guided by his old wise mentor who practices his mathematical algorithms in the seemingly simple but very complex game of Go.As an indie film, it doesn't have grand locales, CGI or big-budget action, which is a good thing. It conveys tension purely in it's direction and editing. The black and white visuals are key to this film's striking visual presentation and in how it conveys tension ; They are heavily saturated and contrasted during the most thrilling moments to represent a break away from reality.
