6 Films About the Financial World You Need To Watch (While “The Wolf” is Not Around)

Pi (1998)

Darren Aronofsky’s opera prima, and probably his masterpiece (Black Swan fans, I’m sorry) is one of my overall personal favorites. Another thriller –yes, money is exciting and awakens passion, about a paranoid mathematician that becomes obsessed with a 216-digit number, which is supposed to carry a formula to predict the stock market. This film cannot, however, be summarized in a few lines without undervaluing its great depth.

Interesting facts:
The movie was filmed on high-contrast black-and-white reversal film.
It was produced on budget of $60,000, but still succeeded in grossing $3.2 million in U.S. box office alone.
