Black Swan

Ever since the trailer for this film appeared on the internet I’ve been dying to see it. It is a trippy and successful mixture of two things I love: psychological thrillers and dance. The masterful handheld camera work helps the audience immerse themselves inside the brain of Nina, Natalie Portman, a high-strung ballerina. Though nothing about the inner workings of Nina’s head is clearly spelled out, you never feel as though something is missing. All the pieces are there, you just have a choice as to how you want to put it together. And all the surreal and trying elements of this dark story lead up to an ending that finishes the film perfectly.
