Is it only about God Vs Mother earth Vs Mankind or more?!

Rating: 8/10 (23 September 2017)

'mother!' can be defined as Darren Aronofsky's major, bold move into the segment of avant-garde cinema which got a pretty close tie with Horror. While I referred BLACK SWAN as his love letter to Roman Polanski's psychological horror films, now I like to consider this as his own way of homage to some other maestros of cinemafrom Luis Buñuel to Stanley Kubrick, along with twisted flavors of Polanski to Micahel Hanekethe inspirations were evident in this one hell of a magnificently bizarre, odd movie. With a set of nameless characters & the limited set up of a house in the middle of nowhere, Darren Aronofsky made a total allegorical film that manifest itself into multiple layers of meanings or symbolism including religion, politics, troubled conjugal life dealing with fame & personal will etc. The thing that intrigued me most was whenever I tried to reach an idea of what's it actually about, the twists and turns of events just amazed me over & over againlike Aronofsky was saying "Why so hurry, my friend? I think there's something more that you may find interesting!" At times while the first half was somewhat like a twisted Hitchcockian thriller directed by Kubrick or Haneke, the second half gradually descends into total chaos & horror which kind of reminded me of the madness of Luis Buñuel's The Exterminating Angel! At the end, you may find an answer to get a relief for a while (like it's all about God Vs Earth Vs Mankind or God & Earth Vs the Mankind) but that may not be the only key to unlock all the doors of confusing & mysterious stuffs happened to that house of strange chaos, triggered by "few" suspicious guests & the baffled owners.
In time, I believe this film will become a cult favorite for the ardent horror fans (at least) and can be regard as Darren Aronofsky's a matchless masterpiece which may going to inspire him to work around more closely to the horror territory in future.
