The Fountain is the sort of film that needs no subtitles whatsoever. The meticulous cinematographic symmetry connects the parallel eras – 16th century Spain, the present, and an indeterminable future – and the bumper-sticker dialogue merely populates them. Visually and aurally, this is a beautiful film (Clint Mansell’s score is particularly rousing), but it is a shame that it reaches so ingenuously for such depth.
