My favorite Darren Aronofsky film

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2015)

Darren Aronofsky's films can be difficult and The Fountain is no different. But the payoff is worth it. Some films require more than one viewing & The Fountain is one of those. I wish the director had the original budget to work with but he manages to succeed with what he has. The actors are first rate. Hugh Jackman in particular manages to carry the entire film. If you were not a fan of his previously The Fountain may change your mind over the quality of his range. He plays three different roles to perfection. One of the best science fiction movies ever made. I hope Darren Aronofsky makes more films in this genre.
