Review of The Fountain (2006) by Nora%20 V — 15 Jul 2018
Hugh Jackman stars as a time traveling doctor bent on saving his wife from cancer. This film is mind- bending and some scenes are awe inspiring even but it will need a strong will of curiosity to sit through this film.
Which isn't to say that the film is bad- far from it, but the characterization is poor and Aronofsky shoots with an auteur-ish, off beat mindset which isn't linear nor structured and may confuse some viewers.
However, this is a brave attempt at making a thinking man's science fiction and as stated earlier- some scenes are quite astounding, and for these reasons alone The Fountain deserves a recommendation.
(Aronofsky's sci-fi trip is worth an investment).
