Cluster Headache Related Movie

I saw yesterday a interesting movie called Pi. Anyone here know it? Its about a man who work with mathematics, but he suffer from CH.
Not a happy movie, unfortunatly.
Plot summary:
In Manhattan, behind six locks, lives Max Cohen, a mathematician and computer whiz. Since staring at the sun at age six, he's had terrible headaches; plus, he can't abide human contact except with an aging professor, and he's obsessed with finding numeric patterns.
His current obsession is the stock market; his theories bring him to the attention of Wall Street traders. He also keeps running into Lenny, a fast-talking Hasidic who fronts for a cabal that wants to rediscover long-lost mathematical mysteries in the Torah. Neither group is benign, and they pursue Max as his hallucinations and headaches worsen. Does nature offer any solutions? Can Max find them?

Once you see him get hit and hear him rattle off the list of medications he's tried, you're convinced he has clusters.

The Actor got his ideas from watching a friend with 'migraines'.

Exactly! I watched it with Gena the first time I saw it (she had seen it before), and once he started rattling off the meds, I just sat there nodding my head.

This is from the website. They call it migraine but what does this sound like to you?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A gifted young actress who consulted with us on the film's depiction of migraine, had a long period during which she would be awakened every morning at exactly 4:07 to a pain like "a hot drill entering her right temple." The pain increased from there. For the eternity of the next hour or two, she would hide in the darkest place she could find, often a closet. Sometimes she would bang her head against the wall,trying to dislodge the pain. All light, sounds, smells and human contact became unbearable.
When the episodes passed, she often experienced a sense of euphoria, a high which might last all day. Every night, she was afraid to go back to sleep. The next morning the pain would wake her again.

I watched it last night. Stunning film and fabulous cinemaphotography. His headaches seem to actually center on the SIDE of his head, above the ear, and later in the movie (not wishing to spoil it for anyone), he seems to have a horizontal "V" shaped scar of some sort, at that site...
This aside, it's still a very raw and compelling movie.
