Another late report, I had to get them all in before True Grit next week...
There is so much to say about Aronofski's latest, that I think I'll keep this brief: this is an amazing piece of filmmaking.
Compared to his previous works, it sits somewhere between Pi & The Wrestler: it is part depiction of the life of a ballet dancer, part paranoiac trip (Polanski's Repulsion comes to mind also).
Natalie Portman is nothing short of incredible. She manages to be completely believable as a professional dancer, which is no cheap feat...
And Aronofski's direction is so viceral, it makes the movie something you feel as much as you watch.
Just brilliant.
