Visually rich

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2007)

This film is about a relationship that spans 3 different time eras: the past Mayan civilisation, present day and the future.
The Fountain is visually very rich. It has all sorts of visual effects, the most impressive being the final scenes of spirituality. The lights, the auras and the bubbles are mystic, and yet tranquil. There is a lot of imagery in the film that will probably take a lot of viewings to understand. At first, I found the film rather confusing, but slowly everything falls into place and I enjoyed the film a lot more than initially. It is not a traditional science fiction or romance movie. It is as groundbreaking as the previous Aranofsky films "Pi" and "Requiem for a Dream".
