It’s no big secret that Black Swan was my favourite film of 2010, so it only makes sense that I would post the making of Darren Aronofsky’s psychological thriller on the site. Aronofsky brings new meaning to the term ‘melodrama’ as he re-envisions the tragic tale of the Swan Lake into a haunting and over-the-top cinematic romp. Enjoy.
