User's review

The Fountain is a high concept art film. It's look is gorgeous and very original. It also grapples with some deep themes. I read an interview of the director, Darren Aronofsky, where he said that he liked the idea that we are all recycled. This is something to keep in mind when watching the film: the idea that the matter we are all made up of has existed for billions of years. Although Hugh Jackman's character focuses his life on battling death, the film keeps hinting at a bigger picture, where death plays a vital part in the continuance of life. In this way, we are all immortal. The film also shows that the moments we have as individuals are precious but fleeting, to be fully experienced and appreciated. A beautiful film in every way. Bring some friends along. You'll want someone to discuss it with once you've seen it.

9/10
