Pi

Max Cohen is a solitary, paranoid mathematician who lives in a rundown apartment in Chinatown, Manhattan. He believes everything in nature can be explained with numbers, but severe migraines and social anxiety isolate him from the world. His usual contacts are limited to Sol Robeson, his former mentor, who was left disabled after a stroke, and the building's neighbors, including Jenna, a girl fascinated by his calculations. Max works with his computer, Euclid, searching for a mathematical model that can explain the behavior of the stock market. He shuts himself in his apartment, programming and calculating tirelessly, convinced he is close to a discovery no one else has seen. The film marks the directorial debut of Darren Aronofsky, and Sean Gullette leads the cast.
