Extreme elevation of film poetry

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2009)

When I first saw "The Fountain" I was hounted by its delicate and rafined narative structure for weeks. It was few years a go and I avoided seeing it eversince because of the strong emotional effect it has caused within me. However, I saw it again on TV few days a go. It still haunts me. I recommend it to everyone who likes poetry, because "The Fountain" is poetry itself. The three story lines which the film contains bring the technique widely promoted by Manchevski and Tarantino fifteen years a go to a master's perfection. Hence, it is three masterpieces into one marvelous acomplishment. Sitting back and reviewing my fear of watching this film again after the first time, I find myself extremely silly. It is the emotional effect we oughta be after. So I'll get i and watch it again and again. The Soundrack is also a thrill, try and get it too.
