The Fountain is Empty

Rating: 1/10 (19 April 2007)

The Director of this film must have had the biggest ego trip while directing this movie.
I know we are going to get "its Art" by some fans, but to be fair its and i am trying to find a word sophisticated but Dribble is all i can say. I know you are going to hear, the colour and use of angles for filming, This film is indeed poetry, and a beautiful testament to love and the cycle of life, The score enhanced without being overbearing, which is so often the case in contemporary film, The music was hauntingly beautiful etc etc. Thats all fine but still the story has to be there and unfortunately its not. I have seen better scripted films in the Police Accademy Series.
How it cost £35 Million is beyond me, i can only assume that Mr Aronofskys bank balance had a £30 million credit when the film was completed.
Its a poor Shambles....
