Re-watching "The Fountain"

In the latest edition of the series, I re-watch Darren Aronofsky's 2006 film, "The Fountain", and discover much more than a mere puzzle to be solved.

Welcome back to the The Double Take, a semi-regular series in which I re-evaluate books and films that I first encountered long ago.

Today, a film that’s gloriously singular, and unafraid of taking really, really big swings. Not all of its parts are perfect, but it adds up to something disarmingly sincere.
