will surely divide audiences and critics, "The Fountain - The Fountain," Darren Aronofsky's third film, arrives in cinemas from 16 March, after a long gestation.
It seems that the director had the idea behind the film back in 1999 while sitting at a table in a restaurant, and that has romantically pinned on a napkin as not to forget.
Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz (companion of the director) are faced with different characters, even if in the end always interpret the same role. The actors are good and expressive, dignified but not supported by a story that turns out to be pretentious and not up to talking about issues like the meaning of life and death.
The plot unfolds around three times to tell a man's desperate attempt to save the woman he loves. First, we are in Spain of the sixteenth century: the warrior Thomas, to protect their queen, who seeks the Fountain of Youth, according to Mayan legend, should give immortality.
Then you need today, in which the warrior becomes Tommy Creo, a scientist who is committed day and night to find a treatment that can cure the cancer that is killing his wife. Finally, Tommy turns to Tom, an astronaut Twenty-sixth century, in a spaceship that looks like a soap bubble, travels through space in search of its truth. More
it goes on in the movie, most everything is mixed and unclear boundaries takes.
