Black Swan - A Perfect Blue (anime reference, my otaku is still strong).

Despite being a B-Movie fan and a low brow/DIY enthusiast, I am not a fan of the "Europa" style of film making. The camera should to be secured by a rig; the shot should be stationary, and the placement of the elements (mise-en-scene) determines the final images and actions displayed. Shooting on a handheld is fine, but it cannot be the entire film. With these reservations towards a style that Lars von Trier is the so called innovator of, one maybe surprised when I declare Darren Aronofsky to be the definitive director of the last 10 years with "Black Swan" and "The Wrestler" being his last two films.

Since I reviewed "The Wrestler" for the Illinois Central College newspaper, all I have left is to review his latest picture for the masses, all 312 of them. I should just bite the bullet and try to buy add space at The Peoria Theater.
