And the lens still comes from the St. Petersburg factory, so the visual quirks - intense colors, sharp contrast, wacky focus - remain intact.

What really sets “The Fountain” apart is its visual and aural playing field. Using a variety of analog effects created by filming chemical reactions and other real-life activity, the visual landscape is a welcome and fascinating departure from today’s ubiquitous computer-generated artificiality; the shimmering water in front of the Fountain of Youth and the wild...
