(Darren Aronofsky / 2006 / 35mm / 96mins)
Darren Aronofsky's third film as writer-director, The Fountain, spans over one thousand years, and three parallel stories. The Fountain is a story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world.
The fountain is an odyssey about one man's eternal struggle to save the woman he loves. His epic journey begins in 16th-century Spain, where conquistador Tomas (Hugh Jackman) commences his search for the Fountain of Youth, the legendary entity believed to grant immortality. As modern-day scientist Tommy Croe, he desperately struggles to find a cure for the cancer that is killing his beloved wife Isabel (Rachel Weisz). Travelling through deep space as a 26th-century astronaut, Tom begins to grasp the mysteries that have consumed him for a millennium. These three stories converge into one truth, as the Thomas of all periods - warrior, scientist and explorer - comes to terms with life, love, death and rebirth.
