Review of The Fountain (1934) by Mark J — 17 Oct 2011
The Fountain for me directly precedes Amalie in my loosely arranged list of 'top' or 'best' films of all time. If I could summarise this film in one word it would be desperation, the desperation to which I refer is the agony of the loss of someone which is conveyed in such a beautifully tragic way leaving the viewer experiencing something in the format of film that is usually associated with loosing a loved one or a relationship ending.
In short never have I seen a director or film so successfully depict the rawness of emotion in the way that The Fountain and Darren Aronofsky do so achingly well.
