Large Snot Out Of Nose

Black Swan - Darren Aronofsky (2010)

The officer was left with a feeling very mixed at its last meeting with the filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, should he again wrap themselves in a legitimate distrust in the light of media frenzy and irrelevant (1 ) that followed the release of the previous The Wrestler ?

Agreed, the film's director Requiem for a Dream is it now? If the term seems very deliberately, by design (2 ), this talented filmmaker, if not great (more on that later), will have a number of time raises hopes, reasoned or not after his first two feature films. However, having tripped and neurons in a shabby carpet mystical ass-ass praline (stop not add more), Aronofsky had seen his side rise steeply after his predictable story of boxer head hard proving that it is still paying out the old recipes such Hollywood tale of the eternal loser beautiful. New stage, Black Swan took the leap, and takes its author and the viewer to a more perilous path, less subtle. Originality becomes a scarce commodity, especially when the feature sights set on film (ultra) referenced.

Nina (Natalie Portman) in contrast to the distant past of her roommate mother (Barbara Hershey), a former second-class ballerina, dancing in the prestigious New York City Ballet. A passion demanding, devouring, where the search for perfection is a quest each time. Like its sisters, Nina has one ambition, star, what is more when she learns that the choreographer and ballet master work, Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel), decides to stage a new version of Swan Lake . Obsessed from an early age by the Tchaikovsky's ballet, Nina takes a dim view of the arrival of a new recruit, Lily (Mila Kunis), and now since the main opponent away from the aging ballerina (Winona Ryder). Nina Gold, the innocent white swan is in contact with Lily emancipated increasingly open to sensuality and poisonous charm it lacks both embody the black swan ballet. Emulation coupled with an emancipation that is not safe for mental health (and physical?) Nina ...

By asking the question differently in early chronic, one might question how Black Swan is it symptomatic of a contemporary cinema. Which? He who conceals his screenplay sterility (and / or formal) abuse of references to the shovel. In other words, dependent for the director to best optimize their time and expertise by serving the alleged mob influences very marked and supported, carefully avoiding, option 1: the assimilation of these influences to create something new, option 2: a decline in saving, and references can be seen primarily as a nod or homage more or less disguised ... Gold in Black Swan , this is nothing further to say qu'Aronofsky put on ignorance (film) of the public, there is only one step.

cinema listed, call and served by Aronofsky offers little paradoxically, if it is a patchwork poorly digested, sponger of anxiety 7th Art hesitating to take the best of a Roman Polanski (Repulsion , Rosemary's Baby), a David Cronenberg or Brian De Palma (Sisters Carrie ). Remains a staging closer to the female protagonists, especially its heroine, an intimacy that is reminiscent (at times) minimalism The Wrestler ... but tempered by moments too easy, the same ones evoking the films of Cronenberg and his beloved mutations in rough version, clumsy, or even caricature, systematically destroying the hallucinations of schizophrenia and other main character. A claustrophobic atmosphere ultimately limited, restricted, restrained ... or how to shoot itself in the foot by ignoring the benefits of the suggestion. Remains the quartet of actresses in particular the pair Portman / Hershey to us almost to forget the mistakes of the staging ... and "benefit" of Cassel.

Ultimately, this new film from Darren Aronofsky is certainly far from reaching purges of the master film Vincenzo Natali , but we were right to expect a film on several levels of interpretation, reconciling both the public and a fringe of the public more moviegoers, las ...
