The Black Swan

I know, you've all seen this now, and you all believe it deserved the Oscar(s).  I just saw the modified for airline version of this, lesser sex scene I believe, not sure about violence though, that all seemed to be there.

This is a dark tale of someone taking pride in the craft to excess.  It's a tale of a young womans decline into insanity as the pressures of her lead role in the ballet, and her mothers vicarious need to succeed.

Without spoilers I'd have to say
1) beautiful cinematography
2) too many bleeding finger scenes for me
3) felt like an early 70's psycho thriller

I'm not sure it covered new ground, but it's fun seeing Portman act again, after Lucas disgusting waste of her talents.
