I've put this in the Lounge as if I put it is the film section, not many people will see it.
Darren Aronfosky's film The Fountain is getting it's Freeview premiere tomorrow (Monday Film4 at 10.50 pm). This is a highly original film and is worth watching if you want something different from the usual Hollywood film. Although it stars High Jackman and can be regarded as fantasy/science-fiction, it is far removed from the likes of X-Men.
The structure of the film is complex with three separate stories in different periods of time intercut. It's a bit like a jigsaw puzzle and it is only towards the end of the film that you start to get some understanding - so be patient.
It would be interesting if anybody who watches this film or has seen it before gives a rating say on a scale of 1 to 10. I have a feeling that people will find this to be either unintelligible pretentious rubbish or one of the most remarkable films ever made.
And can anyone answer this. Why is the film called The Fountain? I think it should be called The Tree of Life.

Sounds interesting - I'll try and watch it
