A masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2010)

The Fountain is a rare work. Confidently directed, well shot. One of the things that stands out on repeated viewings is that there is an embedded geometry in the three time periods. Triangles for the past, squares for the present and circles for the future.
Combined with an excellent score that needs to be heard loud, this movie wastes not a frame telling exactly the story it wants to tell. One of my favorite films.
One of the things that stands out to me upon repeat viewings is how the action sequences (at the beginning and the end) are done. The combat scene at the beginning is very cohesive and easy to follow. But overall it's how tight this movie is that impresses me.
