What to expect
Its harsh monochrome, rapid montage, and abrasive sound place the viewer inside obsession rather than outside it. The film connects finance, mysticism, and mathematics through a dangerous hunger for total explanation.
How to ease in
You do not need to verify the mathematics. Follow what Max sacrifices each time a pattern appears to promise certainty.
Heads-up
A mathematician searching for a universal pattern turns his apartment, computer, and body into parts of the same unstable system.
I notice how every answer makes Max’s world smaller. A theory that claims to explain everything eventually leaves him unable to tolerate anything unpredictable.
