Darren Aranofsky (The Fountain) shines in this, his first film. Max is a young mathematician searching desperately for a pattern to unlock the power and earning potential of the stock market. He’s a specialist in encryption and number theory. As he goes along he realizes that this task is not what he is learning, and instead finds that strange and sinister things are afoot.
A young jewish man he dines with tells him of Jewish numerology, and soon Max is brought before a counsel of Jews looking for the secret number that contains the naime of God.
In addition to this, there are many many strange things that occur. To unravel the secrets of pi, Max may lose his mind, or his life, or both. It’s an intense and mysterious film, but a tremendous job of story telling and movieship. 2.
