Episode 17 - The Fountain

In this episode of the show we discuss The Fountain, Darren Aronofsky's follow-up to his immensely successful breakthrough hit Requiem For a Dream, which for some reason (and we get into the possible reasons why) ended up swept under the rug of history. We dig into the film's rich thematic headspace, appreciate its filmmaking craft, identify potential strands connecting the film to its creator and his larger body of work and even argue over whether it is a bona fide masterpiece or an over-confident ego trip.

Tune in and enjoy!

Hosts: Jakub Flasz, Carson Timar, , Nicolo Grasso & Jak-Luke Sharp
