one thing one must give credit to Darren Aronofsky : it is a great director of actors, capable of pulling out the best interpreters of their film. It had already happened with Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler and now it's time to Natalie Portman, in this role that flies straight to sail to the Oscars and, despite everything with excellence (we'll see why). With one difference, though: what if Rourke's Randy 'The Ram' Robinson was the role of life in a movie and then openly autobiographical extremely 'heard', the young Israeli-American actress in the past has offered much more significant evidence than The Black Swan (think V for Vendetta , Closer or underestimated My Bluberry Nights ).
That is to say that the merits of the director not stop there. Why I
modest opinion The Black Swan is a very mediocre film, a staggering banality: the story is about Nina, a young ballet dancer whose sole purpose in life is to become the star of the company, hoping to be chosen to interpret the main part of it 'Swan Lake' by Tchaikovsky. To get the party is willing to do anything, even sacrifice his own life, which however is not the best: because of a paranoid and over-protective mother, his life is divided between the stage and his bedroom, ignoring all else: not a boyfriend, no friends, no other interests and is sexually repressed, which does not play in his favor having a gym teacher and womanizer, stubbornly convinced that to play the role of the 'black swan' work has a strong erotic component required by the protagonist (Mah ..). Nina at first appears to be chosen but later when another young student, but much less good technically astute under the sheets, it seems happened there on purpose to blow the party, things inevitably fall ...
All this does not overshadows the proof of the talented Natalie Portman . As we said at the beginning, her performance is remarkable and deserves to win the statuette them more precious: the Portman offers an interpretation 'extreme', unpleasant, almost disturbing: we see the nail-biting, tearing away the skin, scratching to bleed, tormenting his little body resulting from eternal teenager always believable in a movie that otherwise might really ridiculous.
E 'the case to say that it is she who saves (in part) the film. But as I saw the images scroll across the screen I could not ask me, including myself, and if this film had as direct a genius Alfred Hitchcock what would happen?
