'Black Swan'
2:35 p.m., TCM
USA, 2010 (108 minutes). Director: Darren Aronofsky. Cast: Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey, Mila Kunis.
The images of Black Swan represent the total purification of cinema by Darren Aronofsky. A cinema that is sometimes baroque, sometimes lysergic, but which relies on the details and the insertions to increase its expressiveness. “Black Swan” is a frightening story, embedded in the everyday situation of a dancer who is faced with the challenge of interpreting Swan Lake. From this starting point, the filmmaker delves into the intimate fears of a character who must embrace his dark side to achieve self-destruction and from there perfection, while surrounded by three threats: obsessive maternal possessiveness, which his choreographer assumes, and that was embodied in a possible rival.
