If you loved Requiem for a Dream, try Black Swan

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Darren Aronofsky, and they both carry the dread, raw mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Requiem for a Dream, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Black Swan is

New York City, winter, a lone piano plays. A ballerina's rigid form cracks, her reflection shatters, the stage awaits. This film lands best after a quiet morning.
