Black Swan

Intense. I liked the juxtaposition of the frail beauty and innocence in the ballerina's world mixed with the grotesque nature of the dark side in this movie. I'm not sure if it would be considered allegory, but it is heavy on the symbolism exploring issues with the artist's soul.

I also liked how at times it appears to be a horror movie, but it is not overdone, which would have been a temptation for the film makers.

Probably one of the best non-Sci-Fi/Fantasy movies I've seen for a while.
