Film 18 - Black Swan
Directed by Darren Aronofsky
Year - 2010
So today I thought I might actually be blogless. Black Swan is an incredibly tense and gripping film. The ballet company are looking for a new lead for Swan Lake and Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) is in the running. Strict teacher Tomas' (Vincent Cassel) constant pressure and the arrival of a possible rival and understudy (Mila Kunis) makes for an extremely masterful story.
Both Portman and Kunis give the most superior performances, Portman's perfect but rigid poise dramatised by Kunis' free flowing natural talent and sexual air. More sharp intakes of breath were taken throughout this film by the audience than many of the best horror films. Aronofsky once again overwhelms with his incredible ability to simultaneously move and shake up those who see his films.
This film was just mind blowing. My review is so far from telling you how utterly amazing it is. The only issue I had was that the stupid people in the cinema with me seem to think it was really funny and I had to tell some twat to shut up. Bloody uncultured swines. Fuck
Off and watch I love you Philip Morris. At least that was meant to be a comedy.
Rift. Tomorrow. I'm watching Irreversible. God help me.
I enjoy Darren Aronofsky alot, what are you going to watch after Black Swan? Garden State?
