Katharsis for the new Millennium

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2011)

"Black Swan" strikes deep and hard...
I want to keep this short, in order not to spoil the movie for you :) This movie is a deep surrealistic trip into the abyss of the human soul and in fact is the adaption of Tchaikovskys extraordinary and infamous "Swan Lake" ported into our time. Aronofsky presents a fairy-tale about passion, hate, love, fear and emancipation adapted to strike all of your senses.
Natalie Portman delivers a very authentic performance, you can almost smell the sweat in the dancing scenes. Aronofsky puts you in the middle of the happening and lets you percept the world through Nina's eyes and it's a hell of a trip :)
So my friends, don't miss this one, it's a true piece of art ...
