So what did you like about PI ?

I liked that it was filmed in black and white, and thought the film was stylistically wonderful. In some small ways it reminded me of Eraserhead, which was crazy to flash back to. And I liked the theory behind the film: that patterns exist everywhere, and if you get too engrossed in the search for patterns, you're likely to snap.

Yes, it made a big impression on me because it seemed to go well with my pet theory about philosophy. If you like, you can read my review of it in the 'Author Comments' section of this page.

I guess I'm the only one that had major problems with it because the videography made me nearly seasick.. Got a headache because of the shaky video...
