Few films can rival the ambition of Life of Pi. The story and the storytelling are unparalleled in contemporary cinema. I'll state my reputation on that. Ang Lee succeeds in retelling one of the most poignant tales about the meaning of life ever told. This is not just a film about survival at sea or shipwrecks. It is far more, even, than a film about existence and faith. Life of Pi asks us what is reality and what is fiction? What is a story and what is truth? Where are the lines between dreaming and living, imagining and seeing... and which is better?
