From
Darren Aronofsky, the director of
π and
Requiem for a Dream comes another mind-fuck of a movie. I only give it four stars because I personally think mind-fuck films only work with virtually unknown actors. Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz were not at all bad but knowing them and having seen them in countless other films take the mystery out of the film's otherwise profound subject matter.
I love films that make you say exactly that, "What the f_ck?!" Except this one is too "hollywoody" for my taste. "Requiem" pulled it off better even with names like Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans in it. "Pi" left me with a blank stare as the closing credits rolled on. :)
