Allow mw to validate your taste, Sem. Pi rocks. Like Eraserhead but with a plot. I was really suspicious of the phrase "mathematical thriller" but was happilly surprised. Arty, yet compelling. I've put my name on the list at my local video store to buy a used copy when the new release copies go up on the block. And if electronica is your taste by all means buy the soundtrack- the incidental music is by an ex-member of Pop Will Eat Itself and is also nearly flawless.
