Description
Dir: Darren Aronofsky | USA | 85 min. Madness, obsession, and 216 letters in the name of God: Reclusive Maximillian Cohen studies the patterns of the universe in the hopes of finding the numerical key to chaos—pursued by stock market traders and an Hasidic cabal. “Aronofsky’s audacious debut comes across like Eraserhead re-envisioned by cyberpunk author William Gibson.” (Onion AV Club). Presented by Prof. Charles L. Cohen | Dept. of History; Lubar Inst. for Study of the Abrahamic Religions
