About the Dance on a Volcano

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2018)

Darren Aronofsky did direct some of my favorite movies regarding modern movie making: The Fountain is one of my absolute favorite movies and with The Wrestler Aronofsky gave Mickey Rourke back his dignity as an actor (anyone remembers Barfly from 1987!?).
Black Swan is another masterpiece - a fine mixture of drama and elements of thriller, with great acting (Portman, Kunis, Cassel), and a fine story about the sometimes just too fine line between real passion and madness. The end of the movie is imo for a very long time one of the most poetic ones, maybe ever. Tragedy in the scale of a drama of Shakespeare I would dare to say.
Top notch!
