"I had the craziest dream last night..."

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2010)

That is the opening line from the new horror film "Black Swan." Some of the critics are debating whether "Black Swan" is a horror film or a psychological thriller but it is actually both.
While is is one of the most hyped movie of the awards season, it is not a movie for everyone. Fanboys are probably going to see it about the much talked about sex scene but that scene only lasts about a minute. About half the film is ballet performance or ballet rehearsing. In that regard it is much like Robert Altman's "The Company." If you don't like ballet, you might get bored. But as the film progresses, Nina sacrifices herself for her art and loses her sense of reality and the film turns into a horror movie with the distinctive that only Darren Aronofsky can bring.
