Panda and I went to the movies on Sunday, to see Black Swan.
How cool and art deco-y is this poster?
I'm not going to spoil this movie for you, as I really recommend going to see it. It's dark, at times disturbing, and intensely gripping. The way the story builds and pulls you in reminds me of the well-crafted psychological thrillers of days gone by (think Rosemary's Baby.)
And it's beautiful. Immersing us in the dance world, the film is heavily doused in whites, blacks and baby pinks. The story takes place largely on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a place where I've spent a great deal of time. Could this story have been playing out while I studied and goofed off across the street? Definitely added to the creepy factor for me.
If you're a fan of dark thrillers, I absolutely recommend seeing this.
{ seen any good movies lately? }
P.S. veery interesting wikipedia....

i really want to see this movie. i am waiting until i am home with my sister to see it :) i remember being really young in beginner classes and seeing all the 'grown up girls' in ballet classes with their insane stretching and not so great looking feet. something about them has always captivated me. oop. and i totally love dark thrillers! :D
I LOVE Natalie Portman!
I am dying to see this movie - and I love Rosemarys Baby - it still is one of the creepiest movies around with out really showing any gore.
Totally want to see this!!! The hype around it has been epic!
