      Yes, oh my gosh such a good movie! For anyone who hasn’t seen it: the thumbnail in the image above is from the movie titled π; a 1998 American conceptual psychological thriller film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky.

      The story focuses on a mathematician with an obsession to find underlying complete order in the real world and contrasting two seemingly irreconcilable entities: the imperfect irrationality of humanity and the rigor and regularity of mathematics, specifically number theory. The film explores themes of religion, mysticism, and the relationship of the universe to mathematics.
