...Studies (VES) concentrators who bemoan taking “Science B-53, Marine Biology” might look to Darren S. Aronofsky ’91 for inspiration.In a one-on-one interview with The Crimson, the director of “Pi,” “Requiem for a Dream,” and most recently, “The Fountain,” discusses his latest film as well as his fond memories of Harvard: the annoying difficulty of Social Studies, his life-changing electives in the VES department, the Core, and even advice...
...even out-right bizarre. But, those who become entranced by its completely stunning imagery, mesmerizing original score, and puzzling philosophical overtones will mark it as one of the most memorable films of the year. As Aronofsky’s first film since the 2000 indie classic, “Requiem for a Dream,” “The Fountain” has been a long time in the making.

The synopsis - "Spanning over one thousand years, and three parallel stories, The Fountain is a story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world" - makes The Fountain sound wildly ambitious, on the order of D.W. Griffith's three-hour, four-part, epoch-straddling 1916 film Intolerance. One would expect as much from Aronofsky, a young director with an original, powerful vision. But The Fountain dropped...
