Black Swan is a chilling film, which follows Natalie Portman as a talented young ballerina who has worked hard to become the next swan queen in the next production of Swan Lake. Aronofsky really bring a sense of mental instability as Natalie Portman's character struggles to deal with her inner conflicts as she throws herself into a part which she cannot fulfil . Whilst she deals with her insecurities in the part, her paranoia begins to escalate to the point where she begins to change, in a way she could never imagine.
Aronofsky's beautifully haunting film, stays with you after you finish watching it. With some truly amazing photography especially during the Swan Lake scenes, the whole piece comes together to deliver a very shocking and sometimes disturbing look into an original perspective of the struggling performer. The piece is altogether very effective and will stay with you for a while.
With great performances from the whole ensemble, in particular Natalie Portman who really comes into her own in this picture. This film is a definite must see and really deserved the recent Academy Award nominations.
