Black Swan
Saw "Black Swan" this week, the amazing new film by Darren Aronofsky and stars Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey and Vincent Cassel (remember La Haine?). The film has been receiving rave reviews worldwide, and I must admit I have to give it the same props.
The storyline follows a New York City ballet company that is preparing for the production of Swan Lake, choosing to cast a newcomer as both the White and Black Swan. Dancer Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) competes for the part alongside several other young dancers, including newcomer Lily (Mila Kunis). Nina lives with her caring but overbearing mother Erica (Barbara Hershey), a failed dancer who tries to control much of Nina's life.
While it isn't an "enjoyable" film to watch, it still captivates you and Natalie Portman's protagonist Nina Sayers stirs mixed emotions in the viewer, tugging at your heartstrings, while at the same time frustrating you incredibly.
The movie is a psychological thriller in the style of Roman Polansky's Rosemary's Baby, The Tenant and Repulsion. The promotional posters continue this homage, and their style have that 70s thriller/horror vibe to it. Check them out:
A beautiful yet disturbing and powerful film that you should definitely see, but be warned, it's a heavy ride.
