Darren Aronofsky took the independent film world by storm with his fleetly edited techno-scored high style debut, shot on high contrast black-and-white reversal stock. Pi plunges the viewer into the manic mind of Max, a math prodigy living in a dingy Chinatown apartment who must protect his breakthrough research from the prying eyes of a Hasidic congregation seeking to unlock Kabbalah secrets and a Wall Street exec with dreams of using Max’s mind to make stock market billions.
