Friday, March 14 is Pi Day, the unofficial holiday culturally celebrating the magic, mysterious number of the universe- so what's a better way to celebrate than with a special ONE NIGHT ONLY screening of Darren Aronofsky's astounding 1998 mind bender, PI, at Art House Cinema and Pub?! Aronofsky's feature-length debut, PI is a masterpiece of 20th century independent film-making, boldly exploring ideas of consciousness, existence, chaos, mentality, and computerization, resonating strongly in a busy world on the cusp of a new century that is relying more and more on advancing technology to unlock the answers to the world's problems. More relevant than ever in a now heavily computerized world, PI is a remarkable story of the pursuit of knowledge and the drastic measures taken by powerful people to control that knowledge. Gorgeously shot on grainy black and white film, that further accentuates the eye-catching cinematography as well as the urban decay of the film's setting, PI is sensory marvel unlike any other, and you don't want to miss it's new remaster!
Reclusive mathematical genius Maximillian Cohen discovers a link between numbers and reality, making him believe he can predict the future. This leads him to construct a supercomputer that provides him with the key to cracking the stock market, as well as the potential to reveal the true name of Jehovah- a discovery that could bring about the end of the world. This incredible technology of his, however, brings him to the attention of both Hassidic priests and Wall Street gurus.
