Review of The Fountain (1934) by Jenny B — 31 Jul 2018
The Fountain is a modern masterpiece, but I get why people hate it. For me, it's a very emotional experience. After Requiem for a dream, I was on the edge, waiting for Aronofsky's new film. The first contact I had with the film was through Clint Mansell's superb OST.
Without any images, the music transports you and takes you on a journey that will have you cry before it ends. Visually stunning and carried by great performances, The Fountain is the perfect balance between story, music and images.
If you watch the movie, you may be lost and feel that it lacks something. Maybe you'll even think that Aronofsky is way over his head. Try to feel it. It makes a huge difference.
