  Review by CinemaCl🎃wn ★★★½ 7

  Darren Aronofsky's feature film debut presents the now famous director experimenting with different aspects of filmmaking to carve out his own distinct style and contains all the elements that are now associated with his works, be it the theme of obsession, biblical motifs, inventive use of camera angles, heavy use of montages, isolated characters or surreal structure.

  Pi (π) tells the story of a brilliant mathematician who believes there are patterns everywhere in universe and attempts to find the same in stock markets to determine its rise n fall on basis of his calculations. But his increasing obsession with numbers ultimately results in his own self-destruction when he's driven to the brink of madness by the people who are after…

  If someone asked you to guess who directed this it would take approximately four seconds to say Darren Aronofsky.

  for 84 minutes, Darren Aronofsky swears that he is just as good as David Lynch by making Eraserhead for guys who play sudoku

  Review by Griffin ★★★½

  Frantic pacing, harsh cinematography and a wicked score all complement the increasing paranoia of Max, who has been given a gift from god and believes he is the answer to all of the universe’s questions.

  Review by Ben Hibburd ★★★½ 6

  I didn't really want to review this film as there's not a great deal to say about it that people haven't already done so. Darren Aronofsky's debut film is a bizarre, surreal, intelligent, paranoia fuelled film about a mathematician who's trying to uncover the patterns of the universe.

  The main reason I wanted to talk about this film is because Clint Mansell's score is in my opinion one of the best scores I've heard in any film. It's an expertly constructed piece of work that helps to elevate every aspect of this film. The score is perfectly intertwined with the central character of the film, and works as his inner monologue to reflect his different mental states throughout the film,…

  Review by Cinekraut ★★★★

  One of the best films about obsession I’ve seen. With a grainy, black and white picture which happens to be Aronofsky’s first feature he proves what he is capable of. He creates hauntingly disturbing imagery perfectly accompanied by Clint Mansell’s Matrix-reminiscent score (and this was released one year before The Matrix). Sean Gullette portrays a mathematician who gradually plunges into a world dominated by delusion, madness and obsession and he does this with such a confidence, a great performance by a very little known actor. One of Aronofsky’s finest films.

  Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★½

  Is he really insane or just insane enough to make the discovery of a lifetime! Watch the film and decide for yourself!

  Intriguing premise to say the very least! An exceptionally clever film done on a wing and a prayer! And it paid off!
