Darren Aronofsky’s masterpiece, The Fountain, made its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival to a truly baffling reception – it got boos. Who were the morons in attendance who booed this amazing work? Look, I’ll give leeway for personal taste and admit that The Fountain may not be for everyone, but to boo it? … Continue reading
