I haven’t seen “Pi,” director Darren Aronofsky’s debut feature film, but after seeing this, his second one, I know I have to. It’s a striking, bold movie with some crazy cinematic moments. It’s essentially a “junkie” movie, but it doesn’t pull ANY punches. Watching the downward spiral of the main characters played by Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Marlon Wayans and Jennifer Connelly was absolutely fasciniating. Not because the script was so good, but because of the fresh way it was presented. Burstyn will hopefully get a much deserved Oscar nomination, unless she gets screwed because of the film’s harsh subject matter.
