Review of Black Swan (2010) by Ari S — 03 Jan 2018
Visually mesmerizing - but ultimately a shallow film about shallow characters by a shallow man. The characters are all flat. Portman's descent into madness reads disingenuous and her character's eating disorder, perhaps there because rape is too cliché.
For a similar, and better work - try out Perfect Blue (1996) of which Aronofsky has the English rights to.
