The Fountain is a great movie. I can compare it to like the grads of the intellectual cinema. But for me this movie will always be the music.
The author of the soundtrack is Clint Mansell this is the guy who wrote the famous Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, everyone who hears it gets like really shocked. In this movie Clint again collaborated with Kronos Quartet and for the first time with Scottish post-rock band Mogwai.
The soundtrack is a combination of mimalistic neo-classical themes, ambient stuff and bit of a post-rock. Really it is very hard to describe this. It gives you all the thoughts presented in the movie but also brings its own ideas and atmosphere.
This is the soundtrack of sad and calm nights or maybe of cold rainy days, or sometimes you can even see the music falling like snow. In one word – spectacular.
