Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

disposablejs This is a film about acceptance of death. The general tone of this film is earthy, dreamy, and calm. All visuals are carefully composed and very pleasant to the eyes, because Aronofsky is the kind of director who knows his lenses. The music, scored by Aronofsky's long time collaborator Clint Mansell, is captivating and inspiring. Aronofsky's script is experimental and a bit coarse, but full of strong details. The characters are a bit one-dimensional, but skilled actors give them sufficient depth. The film features one simple main narrative, and two parallel fantasy narratives (with lots of elaborate fantasy imagery). The main narrative takes place in the present. The fantasy narratives take place in the past and in the future respectively. The fantasy narratives are not realistic or logical, nor are they supposed to be. Unfortunately this is confusing, and some viewers seem to believe that something super complex is happening and that they need to understand it like in one of those "Inception"-type movies. But that is wrong. The fantasy narratives are more like dream sequences, used to express stuff about the main narrative in a more powerful, visual language which is more accessible to the unconscious. The narration of the fantasy narratives is fast paced, which prevents boredom, but the drawback of this is that there is not much time to build mood. Therefore the mood building seems a little clumsy at times, and some moments which are intended to produce sadness or goosebumps might make you chuckle instead, or you'll find them pretentious. But the artist's intention is always clear and I was willing to stay with Aronofsky's vision and take all scenes serious in order to enjoy the film. This film is definitely a break from the boring Hollywood conveyor belt. It bombed at the box office which suggests that most people dislike it. But some people will love it, and so do I.

Tweetienator The Fountain is the one movie that made me aware of the existence of a director named Darren Aronofsky. He is one of those directors who make even the best skilled actors better and he inspired (or directed) Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz to make some of their best and most remarkable performances in their career. (I will never forget how Aronofsky reanimated the actor Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler).The Fountain is fantastic, poetic, truly creative and a trip into a dimension of movie making only very rare movies ever reach. Unbelievable good. Truly outstanding. Best of the best.

Andrew Sharapko Fantastic movie with fantastic special effects graphics. Darren use real world chemical reactions for creating space effect in this movie, and this is fantastic. I saw this movie 2 times in a row and 4 times totally. Very impressive scenario and very deep idea and "language of cinema"

stefanos-1996 a really beautiful movie , that make you think about life , truly recomeded if you are looking for a deep movie that may change your way of thinking , A surgeon desperately searches for a cure for his wife's cancer while absorbing himself into the world represented by her final novel. Darren Aronofsky is nothing if not brave and once again willingly sacrifices mainstream acceptibility to realise his vision.
