BLACK SWAN

Recommended. Natalie Portman is a surefire Oscar winner. The movie and the director should be awarded as well. Aronofsky's back at his best. "Wrestler" was just a warm-up.
No wonder screenings sell out.

As the example of "Requiem for a dream" and "Wrestler" shows, Aronofsky's actresses are bound to be nominated to an Academy Award while he isn't exactly that successful himself. Imho he deserves the award for his uncanning ability to push actors to the limit. I'm also happy that this time, unlike in the films mentioned above, he manages to show erotica without nudity. Or was Natalie Portman less desperate than her lesser known counterparts?
