Excellent offering from Aronofsky

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2013)

Aronofsky is proving himself to be one of the best directors working on film these days. Black Swan is very similar to the Wrestler in tone and execution, since both are films about a main character who works in an undervalued art form (ballet and wrestling) and both suffer from deep psychological problems (and in this case, from deep psychiatric problems). This one, however, has better production values, better cinematography and uses special effects extensively.
It also features one of the best lesbian sex scenes in recent cinema. Perhaps better than the one on Mulholland Drive, since here the girls are even hotter.
