Synopsis

A paranoid mathematician searches for the numbers that will unlock the great pattern of the universe—and is pursued by both a Hasidic cult and a Wall Street firm who want the secret.

Our take

All these years later you can still feel the electricity. Darren Aronofsky’s breathtaking debut immediately immerses you in the manic energy of a mind (and person) obsessed. Shot on the streets of pre-Disneyfication New York on harsh 16mm, it was a calling card for the director’s relentless vision.
