The Fountain [2006]

One of the most unique and beautifully written love stories I've seen. It is also one of the most mind-bending movies I've ever seen. The last 15 minutes is one big "mind-blow" with quick frames, a lot of information and some huge twists and turns. The movie is set in three different, parallel times spanding more than a millennium. It would be a shame if I said any more than that as I really think the best experience when wathcing a movie is to know as little as possible.
I've only seen a couple of Darren Aronofsky's movies, but they are both some of the most unique movies I've seen (Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain) - he surely knows how to direct and tell a story based on these two movies! Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz are perfect for the roles and I must say, Rachel is so lovable and belieavable at times in this movie.
After watching it your head will hurt a bit and I must say I had to search for some information about the movie and an analysis for it. After doing that and finally understanding it I must say it is one of the best love stories I've seen in many years. Highly recommendable if you like movies where the answer isn't given even after watching the entire thing.
8/10
