Black Swan may or may not be a major Oscar contender.. You can never tell with Darren Aronofsky. It's probably obvious that, if the ten-wide field had existed, The Wrestler would have been included in the line-up, but it's harder to say if Requiem for a Dream would have made it on Oscar's short(but a little bit longer)list of 10 nominees. I mean, Chocolat was in their top five, so...
What do you think of the trailer? I haven't really been looking forward to this, but due to the "eh" trailer of Love and Other Drugs (previously named my "Most Anticipated of 2010") and this much more awesome and intriguing trailer for Black Swan (missing from my most anticipated list), I'm sad that this wasn't previously on my radar! I'm looking forward to it now (Ballerinas! Natalie! Insanity! Mila!?), are you?
It does look pretty much utterly bizarre... but Natalie needs a good post-Closer role, and this trailer was just mysterious enough to draw me in - speaking of which, how nice is it to see a trailer that doesn't leave you with a point-by-point outline of what the film is about and every plotpoint??
ReplyDeleteIt's so great seeing a trailer tease you with enough detail in order to get a general idea of what the film is about, but not revealing a major twist or anything (a la "The Town").
ReplyDeleteI am SO psyched! Natalie looks actually pretty good (I'm have a lot of hope for her) and I'm just loving the look of this film. The vibe and everything is just what I need in a movie...especially after this less-than-impressive summer. Though, I have not seen any of Aronofsky's other work!
ReplyDeleteIt's intriguing- normally the ballet element would put me off (yawn) but with a side of insanity it's back on my list.

Hopefully Portman comes back from her recent slump.
