After much speculation and curiosity regarding Darren Aronofsky’s latest, we finally get a substantial peek by way of its first trailer, which hit the Apple site yesterday. And boy, does it give you a fair bit to chew on. It seems as though Aronofsky is plunging back into the mental breakdown territory that poked through in the later half of Requiem for a Dream, with more than a little of The Red Shoes thrown in. Plus, on top of the Portman-Kunis rivalry that (I’m guessing) makes up the bulk of the movie, I’m really looking forward to seeing what Vincent Cassel does in this flick. I’m certainly intrigued, and it looks like Black Swan may very well make Aronofsky five for five.
Check out the trailer at Apple here, then leave your thoughts below!
I just don’t buy Portman. But everything else about it looks fantastic.
Aye, Portman does seem to be trying a little too hard in the acting department – as she often does, I personally find. Just the voiceover at the very start of the trailer turned me off a bit, but hopefully she’ll sell me in the actual film.
Well, it looks unique. It does not hurt that it stars Vincent Cassel.
