Black Swan

Perfection.

Graceful, yet ruthless. Surreal, yet so relevant. I don’t remember having ever seen so perfect a movie.

Perfection.

Is what the film is all about. How the quest for being perfect consumes and utterly destroys her.

Perfection.

In the acting, screenplay and direction. A perfect portrayal of such an extraordinary story.

Perfection.

An integral part of any ballet. The moves, leaps and lifts require perfect control.

Perfection.

In the realization that she must stand alone. That her life belongs to her.

Perfection.

In the struggle to keep herself unblemished and yet be perfect.

Perfection.

In the failure, and how she loses control of her own life.

Perfection.

In the metamorphosis from white to black.

Perfection.

In the challenge and the competition.

Perfection.

In the alarming premonitions.

Perfection.

In the climactic fall.

Perfection.

In death.
