I absolutely loved Black Swan, one of the best, twisted, nightmarish films i have ever seen! Darren Aronofsky & Natalie Portman have done an amazing job.

Rating: 10/10 (1 March 2011)

I saw a screening of Black Swan on Sunday, and i have to say that i loved every minute of it.
The story is about a young ballet dancer called Nina (Portman) living in New York who has a lot of pressure on her by her mom, dance teacher (Cassel) and co-dancers. She is chosen to play the White Swan a pure innocent creature in the production Swan Lake, but must also play the dark, evil and sadistic sister the Black Swan. In real life Nina is sweet, quiet and innocent therefore the perfect role for the White Swan, so her dance teacher tells her to get in touch with her evil side so she can feel the Black Swan and make the performance much more realistic or she shall be replaced by co-dancer Lily (Kunis). But things turn very dark for Nina as she starts to suffer from hallucinations, paranoia and schizophrenia and becomes obsessed with 'perfection', and everyone around her and starts to go into a dark, mystical, seductive and evil place.
When i read the story and saw the trailer to this film it just looked so twisted and awesome, not to mention all the awards it had one and i made it my top priority. So i went to the movies with high expectations and came out thinking "what the hell have i just seen". the reason i loved it so much was because it was innocent and bright at times and then all of a sudden turns dark and sadistic and goes back and forth. I have to say Darren Aronofsky has done a fantastic job and Natalie Portman was amazing.
I am a huge fan of weird and twisted movies and this just blew me away honestly i cannot wait till this comes out on DVD, one of my new favourite films ever.
