Deep. Deeper. The Fountain.

Darren Aronofsky tells a love story spanning thousands of years and kindly asks us to watch it more than once, so we can dive deeper into his mind. Without spoiling much of the plot, I'll go straight to the cinematography, which is simply breathtaking, aesthetically pleasing and poetic, while the original score comes from no other than Clint Mansell, the composer behind "Requiem for a Dream" and that was a great choice. Both Jackman and Weisz are exceptional and I see no reason for reproach.
I have discussed this movie with friends and I noticed that with increased artistry or complexity, mainstream acceptance declines rapidly and this also happened with "Tree of Life", by T. Malick. This movie will not be for everyone. As previously said, It urges you to watch it again and again to understand every aspect, but rewards you with astonishing beauty in the process.

Ever since watching "Requiem for a Dream", Aronofsky has become one of my favourite directors along with Nolan, Malick and Kubrick.
9/10 - Amazing love story, gorgous cinematography, great original score and wonderful performances by the leads. If you have the time, watch it at least 2 times.

SCI-FI Lovers BEWARE! What a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT! I thought this was going to be some awesome Sci-fi flick traveling through time and fighting to be with each other. (You know like all the other new Sci-fi flicks today). I was WRONG. Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman are both amazing actors, however I found the Fountain to be WAY TO artsy / independent film for me.

Contrary to many opinions of this film, The Fountain stands as an all time favourite of mine. The layering of timelines combined with Aronofsky's eye just made for a beautiful experience.

A truly underrated masterpiece.

Full of symbolism and pretty pictures this movie will strike your soul if you have one. Once the credits roll it will be like waking from a dream.
