Now this is why I love Aronofsky........he's a low-budget genius

Yes. I mean what I say. You could see for yourself from his debution.
Then there cam Requiem for a Dream.
Then there came this...this... marvelous organized fantasy drama.
I mean this guy could did everything from Black and white cinema to heart breaking (very) story.
In this film right here, you could see the moving pictures of each scene. He has indeed exceed the looks of Requiem for a Dream and this is what comes out. The camera view is great. See what it did to the space scene on Xibalba and more. The score is by the hands of Lord's messenger. Clint Mansell never disappoints. The view is beautiful with great use of color at the right time. See the clinic scene changing. The pace is just OK. You could keep up well enough and you would never know what will happen. The special effects are not wasted. With very low use of CGI, the effects still turns out pretty. Really pretty.
The whole thing is pretty conceptual, though, but still very beautiful. I would say this film is gorgeous. I would've married it if I weren't so humanitarian. But you'll just have to interpret it that's all.
