π(1998)

Darren Aronofsky

faith in chaos

The mathematician Maximillian Cohen (Sean Gullette) is tormented by a severe migraine since he was a kid, and he uses many pills to reduce his painful headaches. He is a lonely man, and his only friend is his former professor Sol Robeson (Mark Margolis). Max has the following assumptions, which rules his life: (1) Mathematics is the language of nature; (2) Everything around us can be represented and understood from numbers; (3) If you graph the numbers in any systems, patterns emerge. Therefore there are patterns everywhere in nature. Based on these principles, Max is trying to figure out a system to predict the behavior of the stock market. Due to his research, Max is chased by a Wall Street company with obvious interest in the results of his studies, and by an orthodox Jew follower of the Torah, who believes that this long string of numbers is a code sent from God

(9/10)-> Για τη μουσική που τα σπάει + γιατί με μικρό μπατζετ o Aronofsky κατάφερε να κάνει μια ταινία που διαπερνά το μυαλό σου σαν τρυπάνι ;P

Cube (1997)

Vincenzo Natali
Fear... Paranoia... Suspicion... Desperation

Six different people, each from a very different walk of life, awaken to find themselves inside a giant cube with thousands of possible rooms. Each has a skill that becomes clear when they must band together to get out: a cop, a math whiz, a building designer, a doctor, an escape master, and a disabled man. Each plays a part in their thrilling quest to find answers as to why they've been imprisoned.

Πρωτότυπο και τρομακτικό .
Αρκετά καλές ερμηνίες , μουσική και σκηνικά που δημιουργουν μια υποβλητική-κλειστοφοβική ατμόσφαιρα
