Have just got back in from seeing Black Swan....
Portman's attuned on-screen unravelling already gaining her the Grammy & BAFTA for best actress so far, I wonder if an Oscar now beckons too?
(And even though it was shown at the local art house movie flick place)..... sadly there were a few groans/snickers at the very end.... (all male toned) ....which was a shame for me... as I think that as a film it deserves some respect...
But if you're not part of the driven creative world, perhaps the mental aspect is less easy to get?
Personally, I found the story, very moving; sadly apt too as a reflection on the TG state and how we 'chase' that elusive perfection.... trying to beat against all the odds the difficulties and the competition and drive for a brilliant physical success... much as principal company ballet dancers do....
That when we get there, finally attain that command performance..... then what?
