better yet, see both and draw your own conclusions. i personally find pi to be seriously influenced by Testsuo, at least style-wise and music-wise (same music formatting.. dont know how to explain it.. maybe someone can help me?) -- but i thought the story was pretty original. and its nice to see yet another movie that breaks away nicely from the norm of film making .. i recommend both -- especially since you still have the chance to see Pi in a theater. now, as far as testuo is concerned, does anyone know anything about the nigher-budget sequel/remake? i think it was called "hammer" or something. also, 'drumstruck', which is a video short on my copy of Testsuo is really quite fun as well... chris.
