Viewing Notes

Aronofsky has done it again. BLACK SWAN is a tour de force and a hard film to be summed up in words. Natalie Portman’s performance and Aronofsky’s direction are the stars here. The dark journey that Portman’s character takes is mind bending and I couldn’t take my eyes off the screen. Great film and it cements Aronofsky as one of our generations most important storytellers.
