Stop looking at me swan...

The new Darren Aronofsky film, Black Swan, looks amazing.

Of course I'm always intrigued by whatever project Aronofsky is involved in, but I had no idea what to expect when I heard he was working on a ballet film. Also, to be honest, I wasn't very into The Wrestler, so I guess my Aronofksy fascination had waned.

Well this trailer has officially caught my interest, and my faith is restored. /Film brings up a great point that there is definitely a Rosemary's Baby vibe going on, which i love. I love the way that the trailer almost plays into the skepticism one may have of Aronofsky doing a ballet project, where it starts off slow and shows a little of Portman's dance background. It's as if he is almost boring you in the beginning, and then you see that mysterious wound. After the wound it is all confusion and intensity and surrealism. Great pacing and of course great music choice. Leave it to Aronofsky to pick just the right music to intensify your emotion. I just love a good trailer that leaves everything a mystery. I still have no idea what this movie is about and I am very ok with that.
