The Friday Morning Listen

Part of: Friday Morning Listen

Pi - Soundtrack

Easily one of my favorite movies. I love the expression on peoples' faces when they see it for the first time. The ending arrives and the comment is usually "wha??".

That's OK. I love it for the bizarre combination of numerology, the Kabala, technology, intrigue, claustrophobia (enhanced by a shoot in grainy black and white) and tense electronic music. Clint Mansell, Oribital, Autechre, Massive Attack, Roni Size, David Holmes, Gus Gus, Psilonaut, Spacetime Continuum and Aphex Twin put together a nice brew of digital weirdness.

Not recommended for family movie night.
