Pi: Faith in Chaos (1998). Though many would disagree, i loved this shoestring offering from Aronovsky. The acting was awesome, and the unobtrusive ethnic diversity was a welcome change. The direction and writing were fantastic, and while the editing might be a little MTVesque, it was done with high style in what would become an Aronovsky trademark. Though a little harsh, the black and white film here was incredible. The symbolism was pretty effective, but at times too abstruse for me. The story itself was of a genius' downward spiral (couldn't help myself) into madness as he uses mathematics to unlock the secret of the universe. With antagonists both without and within, this was definitely a clinching intellectual thriller. Ashe.

At the back of my mind I always wanted to check this out - I loved the few Bartel films I've seen and this sounded interesting...I was very so suprised by how amazing it was...

Bad girl Cheryl runs after thieving from friends to hideout in a weird old hotel run by her Aunt. The place is a freak show of strange characters - alkies, pervie Priests and porno photographers and Cherly fits right in..

Played way straighter than I expected from Bartel and avoids (most of the time) to rely on camp laughs. Great acting (from the main cast) and an amazing location make this an excellent dark off beat 'thriller'...
