More on The Fountain

In case anyone was waiting (*) for my review of Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain, which I got to see an advanced screening of thanks to the Chicago International Film Festival on Monday, let me just say that I'm putting together a rather long piece about the whole experience. It'll take a while though.

As a preview though, let me just say that it's like nothing you've ever seen before, at least visually. As for the story and everything, it's surprised me and it's intricateness takes a while to digest, which is what I'm currently doing.

Did I like it or hate it, as most audiences have so far?

As weird as it may sound, I still don't know yet, which should tell you a lot about the movie.

If anything, you can't say Aronofsky isn't original, that's for sure.
