The Fountain | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Wolverine Man Jackman works nobly in the three parts of his trinity.

For all its missteps into mythological navel-gazing, The Fountain manages to stand apart as Aronofsky's personal exploration into the nature of love and the willingness to pursue an object of obsessive desire.

The film comes in at 95 minutes, yet it makes scant use of even that time, filling scene after scene with confusing (though often beautiful) kaleidoscopic visuals and not nearly enough plot.

Perhaps in twenty more years or so, [The Fountain] will be recognized for the utterly gorgeous masterpiece that it is.

Visual alchemist Darren Aronofsky's most personal work is a double helix of love and loss - death entwined with life as existence's only reliable truths. It offers a transfixing merger of biological imperatives and musings on creativity and tragedy.
