BLACK SWAN
Darren Aronofsky's latest film is quite possibly his best yet - it is also the best movie of the year.
The cast is stellar but it's Natalie Portman's performance as Nina that will catapult into an obvious contender for Best Actress at the next Academy Awards. As a dancer who is given the opportunity to be the lead in a production of 'Swan Lake' she is both estatic and reserved, but when another dancer, Lily played by a scorching Mila Kunis is also interested in the role - conflict ensues. Also Barbara Hershey's role as Nina's mother almost steals the movie away from Portman. Aronofsky style for 'Black Swan' uses a multitude of cinematic devices, from an evocative soundmix to tight close ups, he creates a claustrophobic story that slowly builds to such frenzied epic porportions, the ultimate ending left me totally emotionally whipped.
