The film earned Aronofsky the Directing Award at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival, the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay and the Gotham Open Palm Award. The title refers to the mathematical constant pi. Like most of Aronofsky's films, Pi centers on a protagonist whose obsessive pursuit of ideals leads to severely self-destructive behavior. Max Cohen is the story's protagonist and unreliable narrator. Unemployed, and living in a dreary Chinatown apartment in New York City, Max is a number theorist who believes that everything in nature can be understood through numbers. And thus the story begins ! David's Dibs: I have and hold a special affinity to this film, and I deeply resemble and can respond to what Max is going through. Years ago I had high brain activity. Everything was chattering to me at once. This that and the other. My head couldn't hold it all so I started having hallucinations, people talking to me that weren't there, some rather recently. And I too felt like doing some reconstructive surgery to my head to stop the NOISE, which is  why I was in the ward a few times in my life. But Seroquel changed that. While I must admit today I am not as sharp or RASPY in my brain as I used to be, I can manage today, and it's enough. Too often people can get wrapped up in their work, trying to create the perfect microbe to fight bacteria, or a new form of energy, or even a complex myriad data set that rivals all others. And it's a long and dark tunnel to finding genius in equations and formulae. I think I can say without hesitation that those who sought genius and found it, also stepped many times into bitter and insane madness. This film definitely reflects on the road to both. Trivia: Why does Max wear a winter cap at the end of the film ? You won't know until you see the movie. Enjoi ! . .
