Good job, thank you for covering this film! I've always loved it's elegance and, to be honest, 'soul'.

The Fountain is among my most treasured films. It was a transcendent experience the first time i watched it - and was a source of incredible catharsis for me. A revelation you could say. This essay was even better than the film it is about and an equally transcendent experience to watch. A more than worthy critique of a great film. Thanks for this.
