screen 2
 
Darren Aronofsky's Pi, 1998, was screened with english subtitles, with no sound.
 
computer freak Max believes in the film that the mathematics is the true language of nature, and that every action in the world, no matter how random, is intricately ordered and patterned. the belief drives him into the obsessive search for the 216-digit number supposed to be the code behind the stock market, chaos theory, Kabbalistic "name of God", japanese game Go and the life itself.
