Rated : R [See Full Rating] (Restricted) for strong sexual content, disturbing violent images, language and some drug use

I heard of this movie from my workmate, Zak, and I agree with him that this is such a fantastic movie. It's a psychological thriller and the story is unexpected, psychotic, harrowing as it needs to be, yet exhilarating throughout it all. The plotting is crafted with great proficiency and the energy that provokes the carnality within us.
 
Director Darren, Aronofsky, tells Black Swan as a story about transitions of Nina (Natalie Portman) a metamorphosis within herself. It uses a little passion, melodrama as implicit layers eroding below the film's behaviour as a horror film. It demonstrates to us how such a disciplined, poised, and serene art like ballet could lead to such overblown madness. Such tribulation belongs to Nina, a martyr of her own ambition. Nina's shocking transformation disposes of her beauty and makes her a figure whose very success insinuates her downfall. The last line is enough irony to support the paradoxes of her dreams. For me, it's a fantastic finale that will haunt many.

In conclusion I think Black Swan is sophisticated and emotionally deep movie which provide both great aesthetical values and cerebral thrills. Black Swan loves to venture into the darkness in a way it truly succeeds. The blend of art & passion has never been so intense.
