Review of Pi (1998) by Akash V — 23 Jun 2014
One of the most criminally under-appreciated films ever made. Darren Aronofsky's Pi (1998) is every bit original as it is unique. It's dark, convoluted, twisty and artistic. Most of the critics have misunderstood the genius of the film.
It's a film about obsession, about order and chaos and about the burden of genius. It has nothing to do with math. It portrays with the mental transition of our protagonist wonderfully and the ending which is up for interpretation is beautiful and it's as powerful an ending as I've ever seen.
Anything that even in the slightest and subtle way strays from the conventionality of hollywood films today is not well received. Pi is a gem that needs to be treasured and appreciated not dug under the soil.
Why? Let's just say because it deserves it.
