Life of Pi

Life of Pi (2012)

Director: Ang Lee
Leads: Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan



Oh, man, you gotta see this.

Based on the young adult novel by Yann Martel and brought to life by Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon), a guy with wicked vision and so a disgusting budget, Life of Pi is the story of a young displaced Indian stranded at sea with a tiger. Kind of a weird premise. But the book reads like water - all steady, easy, and charming until you're swept up and can't breathe and need to see how in the world Pi could get out of this. 








The screenplay was well constructed
&
the style of the film is riveting: beautiful and vibrant - as colorful and engrossing as Avatar's Pandora. 
I'm very into bright colours. 


Tremendously well-acted, the young Suraj Sharma interacts like a boss with Richard Parker, the incredible cg bengal tiger.





Budget: $120mil
Gross: $100mil (at time of writing)
