Directed By: Darren Aronofsky
Written By: Mark Heyman and Andres Heinz
Starring: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey and Winona Ryder
Rated: R
MY RATING: A
Dark, twisted, sensual, melodic.
Natalie Portman plays Nina Sayers, a ballet dancer in a New York City ballet company. Ballet is her life and her smothering mother (Barbara Hershey) intends to keep it that way. Nina's life begins to change when the director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) considers her for the lead in the next production of "Swan Lake." As she prepares for the role she becomes more and more obsessed and slides deeper into the dark side.
Black Swan, in one word ... wow! In two words, wow and memsmerizing.
How can you sum up a film like this?
It was so original, artistic, dark, romantic, dramatic, sensual, sexual, chaotic, psychotic ... and I loved every moment of it!
Natalie Portman sure tackled this role! She showed her sweet, vulnerable side but underneath was a dark, demented side that she balanced so beautifully. What a surprise role for her!
The entire cast was great though. I enjoyed seeing more unfamiliar faces. I was able to focus more on the story and less on the actors. But in case you forgot, Barbara Hershey reminded us that she is an excellent actress.
This was well written and the musical score was just beautiful.
If you're a fan of classical music then you will enjoy being taken away by the composition of this film.
This film takes you on an artistic journey. I'm so excited by the creativity! Its not the same ole, same ole story being told again as a remake or a sequel. This is fresh and new and chilling!
It makes you take a look at humanity and all of our flaws.
Darren Aronofsky also did an amazing job of keeping us wrapped up in Nina's (Portman) perspective. When she was losing her mind and sight of reality we couldn't tell fact from fiction either. I loved it! Favorite movie of 2010!
I say see it, see it!
