The Fountain Commentary

When The Fountain was released on DVD a few months back, I was disappointed that there were very few special features. If any movie warranted some deep explaining, it was this one. I thought The Fountain was quite incredible when I saw it, and I considered it one of the best films from last year. I still find it confusing though, and would have loved to have a director's commentary included to show some insight. Thankfully, we now have a free download from director Darren Aronofsky's website consisting of a complete commentary. You can go to the site here, or download it directly here, if you're interested. I highly suggest you rent The Fountain if you haven't seen it already.

Roger Ebert just recently reviewed it (I suppose he just got around to seeing it), and for the most part I agree with his take on it. He also mentions, this person's rational of the whole movie, which I found interesting. Don't bother reading if you haven't already seen the movie, as it will only confuse and frustrate you.
