Practice Makes Perfectly Insane.

Rating: Null/10 (18 January 2011)

A bizarre, beautiful & bewildering study of madness, and a thrilling piece of aesthetic filmmaking that ingeniously blends beauty with horror, Black Swan is a harrowing depiction of a passion turning into an obsession that ultimately leads to total self-destruction. Crafted with meticulous care & precision, and elevated to another level by Natalie Portman's mystifying performance, this psychosexual thriller presents Aronofsky in prime form, and is arguably his most mature work to date.
