Requiem for a Dream director Darren Aronofsky switches gears from drug-induced urban malaise to abstract science fiction with this time-tripping symbolic tale of a man’s thousand-year quest to save the woman he loves. Moving between representational stories and images, this meditation on life and death focuses on the concept of the mythical Tree of Life that is said to bestow immortality to all who drink of its sap. In one of the film’s allegorical timelines, a 16th century Spanish conquistador played by Hugh Jackman sets out to find the tree in order to save his queen (Rachel Weisz) from the Inquisition. Another conceptual story finds Jackman centuries later, struggling with mortality as a modern-day scientist desperately searching for the medical breakthrough that will save the life of his cancer-stricken wife, Izzi. The third and most abstract concept finds Jackman as a different incarnation of the same character-idea, this time questing for eternal life within the confines of a floating sphere transporting the aged Tree of Life through the depths of space. Even more avant-garde than his breakthrough film Pi, The Fountain finds Aronofsky almost completely abandoning conventional story structure in favor of something more cinematically abstract. Though the film was originally slapped with an R by the MPAA, Aronofsky and co. re-edited it to conform to a PG-13 rating., Parallel stories chronicles a man’s efforts to save the woman he loves in three different time periods., A love story spanning 1000 years. A Spanish conquistador, a modern-day scientist and a 26th-century space traveller struggle with love, death and immortality.

Weisz also plays Queen Isabel in the 16th-century section of the film, in which Tomas is a conquistador searching the New World for the Tree of Life which may also provide, in the future, the cure for Izzi. In the present, Tommy is a scientist searching for a cure using conventional research methods. While in the future, he is Tom, an aged space traveller aiming for a nebula that could be the underworld, sustained by memories of Izzi who he hopes to meet there in her pre-cancerous state., Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz star in this powerful trio of parallel stories that spans more than 1000 years and chronicles a man’s desperate struggles to save the woman he loves.
