Anyone seen the movie "Pi" ? It's on my to do
list. Most of the reviewers either love it or hate it. Should I
bother? It sounds fascinating. Here is a general review so you can
see that it is relevant to the markets.

face="Times New Roman" size=3>Patterns exist everywhere: in nature, in science,
in religion, in business. Max Cohen (played hauntingly by Sean Gullette) is a
mathematician searching for these patterns in everything. Yet, he's not the only
one, and everyone from Wall Street investors, looking to break the market, to
Hasidic Jews, searching for the 216-digit number that reveals the true name of
God, are trying to get their hands on Max. This dark, low-budget film was shot
in black and white by director Darren Aronofsky. With eerie music, voice-overs,
and overt symbolism enhancing the somber mood, Aronofsky has created a
disturbing look at the world. Max is deeply paranoid, holed up in his apartment
with his computer Euclid, obsessively studying chaos theory. Blinding headaches
and hallucinogenic visions only feed his paranoia as he attempts to remain aloof
from the world, venturing out only to meet his mentor, Sol Robeson (Mark
Margolis), who for some mysterious reason feels Max should take a break from his
research. This movie is complex--occasionally too complex--but the
psychological drama and the loose sci-fi elements make this a worthwhile, albeit
consuming, watch. Pi won the Director's Award at the 1998 Sundance Film
Festival. --Jenny Brown
