  I was on the fence the first time I rented it--some parts of it are very good, and some parts I can't watch. The references and connections are very broad and esoteric, but not a bit foreign to the select audience this film is aimed at (ever played Go? that will make you nuts! black and white on black and white--a film in greytones dealing with black and white, good and evil, truth and illusion, finance and religion, science and art--there's too many levels here to even begin to discuss). The title itself is fair warning, and says more about what the movie is than any movie or book title I ever saw. Pi is hard logic gone amuck--the thin membrane between genious and madness--what state need you be in to pass effortlessly back and forth, without tearing the shield and bringing chaos into the "reason" of our civilization. I saw it again the other night, beaming off the satelite, and really got into it. Now I think I would put it on my "to buy" list. Yes, it's firmly in the cult film catagory. Definitely a mood piece--to be seen late at night--during the dreamtime. Falling asleep and waking again during this film only enhances it's effect.

  By the way, his "system" reminds me of the film "Brazil". A tweakers nightmare.

  Sorry, Victor, it just came up. Pi was the silliest piece of pretense I have seen in a long time. Made me so mad, I got a refund on the rental. No flame intended; agree with your good taste otherwise.

    I actually laughed at your sincere reaction. So you didn't care much for the Tchudnovsky brothers breakthrough? You don't think it is going to affect our lives next fiscal year? You cynical you...
