An epic art movie : Black Swan

Natalie Portman starrer another classic blockbuster.

Simply magnificent. The movie is just like the orchestra and the symphonies that play around in the background of the movie. It has its notes, its melodies, its desire , the crescendo and it dies out. I watched it cozz of Natalie and boy she has given a god-like performance in this one. She is no doubt one of the best actresses of our times. Thoroughly deserved Oscar for her role and acting.
The movie as we all know is based on the Swan Lake ballet, which goes about the same way for our lead Nina in the movie. She is overtaken by ambition and is unable to control her alter ego.
The theme revolves around the leads uncontrolled desires to be perfect and the way her mind starts playing out on her. Mila Kunis provides the needed raunch and sex appeal as Natalie's character is too
All in all, a great movie, not an entertaining one for Bollywood buffs. but you'll enjoy it if you like great direction and superb acting. Hats off to Natalie Portman and the director Darren Aronofsky.

8.5 stars out of 10 for this piece of art.

Recommended for people who dig artsy stuff and off beat films. This director is the same who made Requiem of a dream, so expect intense scenes which may make you cringe. I am jealous of the way this guy is able to portray the human psyche and its maladies. Simply great!
