Low-budget film that won Darren Aronofsky "Best Director" at 1998's Sundance Film Festival. Gritty, inventive black-and-white photography drives this story of genius mathematician Max Cohen who is exploring the possible existence of discernible patterns in the stock market. With the aid of Euclid, his home grown supercomputer, Max stumbles upon a bug that crashes his system and spits out a seemingly meaningless number. A knowledgeable friend gives him insight using the ancient game of Go and warns of the spiritual ramifications of powerful numbers. A Hasidic cabalistic sect and representatives from an extremely powerful Wall Street firm then attempt to extract the number from him, by whatever means necessary, for their own ill-gotten gains.

    Finally a Movie About Math!

    By PDXSean  Jun 1, 2006

    Pros: Intellectual, Memorable, Stark Beauty

    Cons: Can cause headaches

    Max Cohen, a migrane-plagued mathematical genius, is on the verge of a discovery of a lifetime. Journey with him on his search of patterns in nature, and the torment of Max's brilliant mind. Fans of "The Da Vinci Code" should enjoy the ...conspiracy and code-breaking. If that's what you liked about it anyway. Read more Less
