A metaphysical ouroboros: Aronofsky merges timelines, myth, and mortality, and the ending is as much philosophical challenge as narrative closure. Perfect for dissecting visual and thematic symbolism.

A triptych spanning centuries and realities, Aronofsky’s film dissolves time and identity in a poetic meditation on mortality and obsession. Visually and thematically dense: "Death is the road to awe."

A metaphysical trip across centuries, blending conquistadors, treefolk, and trippy nebula visuals. The timelines swirl into one magical, genre-bending fever dream—definitely one for the ‘wait, what just happened?’ crowd.
