I saw Black Swan at the cinema last night and was extremely impressed. It seems thematically similar to a couple of other Darren Aaronofsky films, particularly Pi and Requiem for a Dream and, as has been said, seems to be influenced by the likes of Possession and Repulsion. Natalie Portman was immense in this but I'm not sure whether she will get the Oscar over Anette Bening. I think the film will stand up to repeated viewings and I'll probably buy it on Blu-ray when its out.
