amazingly human story with a dreamy vision

Rating: 9/10 (13 April 2007)

It's been a while since I've watched a film as poignant as The Fountain (2006). The story is well told, liberal in artistic representation and beautifully portrays the human condition. The story makes the viewer feel and experience the main character's plight.
One becomes intertwined with the main character as the story forms around him in artistic scenery, beautifully absurd moments of reflection and a moving montage of characters.
Highly recommended viewing... especially if you like films like Requiem to a Dream, Donnie Darko, Children of Men, Trainspotting, The Illusionist and films in the like.
