Celebrate Pi Day with Darren Aronofsky’s electrifying debut, a fever-dream of numbers, obsession, and cosmic paranoia. Shot in stark black-and-white and pulsing with a hypnotic electronic score, Pi follows a brilliant but unraveling mathematician who believes the universe can be decoded through patterns hidden within numbers—only to discover that some truths may be too powerful to comprehend. A cult classic of cerebral sci-fi, it’s the perfect film to mark 3.14 with a mind-bending descent into mathematical madness.
