Darren Aronofsky's mind-melting cult debut feature returns to the big screen, with a brand new 8K restoration from A24.
Max is a reclusive mathematician who becomes obsessed with searching for patterns in the universe, as part of a quest for meaning. Using a self-developed super-computer, he makes a discovery that leads him to believe he can predict the future, bringing him to the attention of both Hassidic priests and Wall Street gurus. As his obsession grows, his discovery threatens to destroy both his way of life, and his sanity. Screening in honour of its 25th anniversary, from a gorgeous brand new 8K scan performed by A24, Darren Aronofsky's jawdropping surrealist psychological thriller debut returns to the big screen for the first time since its initial release.
"A triumph of low-end production design, shot in sizzling, solarized black and white."
