I'm a huge Darren Aronofsky fan, based in large part on the brilliant
film Requiem For A Dream. The Fountain is literally in another
universe from his other work, one that requires the viewer to clear
his mind of all questions and doubts before going in. I was willing to
make this sacrifice, and the film had me mesmerized from start to finish.
No, I don't pretend to completely understand it. I'm not 100% sure
anyone does. But the visuals and performances ensnare your eyes and
refuse to let go until the credits roll. Darren is a true master
behind the camera. You'll keep asking yourself as you watch—How does
someone come up with this? And then—How did he film it?
Rating: B+
