Black Swan

Went to see Black Swan with Jane and her mates last night.  Scariest film I've seen in years to be honest.  I didn't read the reviews on purpose just in case of spoilers, but I wish I had and I may not have gone.  It's a very extreme psychological film and Natalie Portman is in almost every shot, so I can imagine it was very difficult and hard work for her.  Apparently, she trained for a whole year for the part and it shows.  She was very good indeed.  Here's a pic:-

It was  a slow burn, just like all the other Darren Aronofsky films (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler, The Fountain) and just as shocking at the end.  The make up and costumes were incredible too.  It was good to see Jane, although I didn't have enough time to chat.  I gave her a lift home and a precis of what had been happening, but not too much as to me, it sounds like blah, blah, blah.  So, I'm not really talking.  Why change the habits of a lifetime eh?
