bin (leider) erst kürzlich in den genuss gekommen diesen meisterhaften streifen von 1998 auf dvd zu sehen. darren aronofsky´s debut hat mich umgehauen. Pi ist ein solch verstörender & packender film, das ich nach dem ersten ansehen erst mal tief luft holen musste. (ähnlich wie bei aronofsky´s requiem for a dream, nur auf eine ganz andere art und weise). die ganze athmosphäre des films wird noch dadurch verstärkt, das er in 16mm s/w gedreht wurde.
In Manhattan, behind six locks, lives Max Cohen, a mathematician and computer whiz. Since staring at the sun at age six, he's had terrible headaches; plus, he can't abide human contact except with an aging professor, and he's obsessed with finding numeric patterns. His current obsession is the stock market; his theories bring him to the attention of Wall Street traders. He also keeps running into Lenny, a fast-talking Hasidic who fronts for a cabal that wants to rediscover long-lost mathematical mysteries in the Torah. Neither group is benign, and they pursue Max as his hallucinations and headaches worsen. Does nature offer any solutions? Can Max find them?
Pi - Faith in Chaos
"11:15 Restate my assumptions:
1. Mathematics is the language of nature.
2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers.
3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge.
Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature."
