Cinema Revisited: Exploring Mortality in The Fountain
Themes of life, death, disease, and immortality are all woven together in Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain, a very ambitious film that delivers three separate story lines spanning a thousand years. One takes place 500 years ago, and follows Spanish Conquistador Tomas and his search for the tree of life.
