[FILM] Darren Aronofsky writes and directs this visual stunner. Fans of Anronfsky have been patiently waiting for a new film since the release of Requiem for a Dream, which was in 2000. The Fountain is a story of timeless love, spirituality and the quest for eternal life. I found the story to be the weak link of this film, not easily followed and a bit vague at times. But Aronofsky did take a bold leap where other directors fear to tread, as the plot transverses three different time periods a thousand years apart. The special effects are amazing, as are each of the sets. Rachel Weisz is convincing in her roles, especially as the 16th century queen. Hugh Jackman does such a good job, too—I completely forgot he was the Wolverine. Tickets: $10. For info visit www.mauifilmfest.com. [KB]
