Review of Black Swan (2010) by Cedric L — 12 Mar 2013
Haunting, ethereal, viscerally brutal and starkly colored, Black Swan is an intense exercise in one woman's fragile psyche. Lead by Aronofosky's terrific direction and Portman's Oscar-worthy performance, the film is terrifying, gripping, and, although laden with hallucinations and effects, surprisingly realistic.
The descent into the rabbit hole is portrayed absolutely perfectly, and eventually one begins to question everything onscreen. Much like the elegant dancing it showcases, the psychological film dazzles and strikes with blinding ferocity as Nina's graceful fall from sanity plays out.
