Darren Arronofsky focuses on diverse and heartbreaking stories about the human experience.

Soul takes intangible concepts like self and personality and makes them completely palpable and simple to digest.
On top of the phenomenal acting, and great dialogue between the two characters, the cinematography was ravishing! The sound was outstanding! The production design was simple, yet intrinsic.
