The story of an Indian boy named Pi, a zookeeper's son who finds himself in the company of a hyena, zebra, orangutan, and a Bengal tiger after a shipwreck sets them adrift in the Pacific Ocean.
He mentioned that the film [Life of Pi] had made him think about the silent films of Jacques Tati, “about how you use space, how you frame things, how you move your camera. It’s really just the visual.”
