“Take the journey of a lifetime.”
Life of Pi (2012) charts the survival tale of Pi Patel, a zookeeper’s son, as he floats adrift in the Pacific alongside a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. After a shipwreck, Pi shares his lifeboat with a hyena, zebra, and orangutan, each creature’s presence compounding the boy’s isolation and fear. The film distills a narrative of human-animal tension and coexistence into a meditation on faith, nature, and the resilience of the human spirit.
