Darren Aronofsky, USA, 1998, DCP, 84 min. 

When numbers are the fabric of the universe, can their sum determine your entire life? Sean Gullette is Max Cohen, a mathematician whose orderly existence is thrown into chaos when his search for meaning in the universe uncovers a pattern that finds him in the crosshairs of Wall Street and a religious cult. In the debut feature from writer-director Darren Aronofsky, the variables of Jewish mysticism, the Fibonacci sequence, and the golden ration are squared by a paranoiac vision of life in the early-Internet domain. An ingenious equation.
