Worthy Oscar winner

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2013)

The harrowing journey through the psyche of a young ballerina who ultimately proved to be frighteningly perfect for the role of The Black Swan shows once again Daren Aronofsky's bold direction. Twisted friendship between the two young dancers more and more drop a hint at Nina's dark side with that temerity that threatens to destroy her. It's the most intense and passionate melodrama I've ever watched. Although the film divided critics, I bow to the extraordinarily subtle and emotionally authentic performance from Natalie Portman. It's a daring, horrifying and impressive watchable piece of pure cinema. It's different from everything I've seen. Worthy Oscar winner.
