"The Fountain" by Darren Aronovsky
The central theme of the whole picture is "Love" and what man will do to keep it alive!
First things first I thought the acting in this picture was out-bloody-standing!
I have to be honest and admit that I have never really seen Hugh Jackman act, but his performance, with the always impressive Rachel Weiss was nothing less than excellent. And equally important their on-screen chemistry worked wonderfully well and director Aronovsky must take credit for that!
The script was fine and I mean just fine!
I didn't find anything, like one line or exchange that stood out, and considering the importance, scope and subject matter that the movie tackles I was looking for something with a little more depth, meaning and at least some clever turns of phrase!
All of the above was lacking and considering the director's previous pictures I was a little disappointed.
The cinematography was however simply outstanding! The general tint of the whole flick was very dark but in the third act especially I have to say there were a few shots that Kubrick himself might have applauded! Thinking again, maybe not!
As a complete film "The Fountain" was extremely and intelligently well lit by all concerned!
But what I think the film suffers from is that it looks tired! The project took six years to get into post-production and I really think the movie itself suffered from that and it shows!
Darren Aronovsky is still one of the most original and dynamic directors to come out of NYC and without a doubt will be a force in film to reckon with for a long time to come!
