i am a great admirer of your work, you get a sense in viewing your work that you are in the hands of a master craftsman. there have been many admirable filmmakers but not many contemporary filmmakers of whom I hold such high regard for.
In each film there feels to be a new world worthy of exploration. About 15 minutes into viewing The Fountain I found myself deeply comforted by the cinematic aesthetic presented. It spoke to me that this film was not going to be compromised that for whatever reason you had been given the proper amount of control.
The Fountain is the film of yours that I understand the least, and I also find it more frightening than any of your other work. More terrifying and discomforting than the destructive lives of junkies in Requiem by far.
I came upon Requiem for a Dream when I was 18 years old, it had just come out on video. So I bought it, without knowing anything about it. And it was a trip, I didn't know cinema was allowed to go in the directions that that film chose to go. At that point in time I was a big Kubrick fan, so I understood directors were free create art, but there was something about seeing someone young and contemporary do it. Break rules, create their own rhythms. It was all magnificent.
I just recently saw the Black Swan trailer, it looks to be very beautiful, very wonderful. Keep making films, they are appreciated.
