Review of The Fountain (2006) by Billys. — 25 Nov 2006
Quite simply, The Fountain is the most breath-takingly stunning visual journey I've witnessed in a movie theatre since I was 18 and saw 2001: A Space Odyssey (and this time I wasn't even high!) Darren Aronofsky is, in my opinion, the new Kubrick and The Fountain is his version of an old fashioned love story that literally spans centuries and, like 2001, its wide open for any interpretation.
Matthew Libatique's cinematography and James Chinlund's production design create one awe-inspiring image after another and the music by Clint Mansell sets free the "oohs and aahs" as you watch the celluloid poetry in front of you.
