Black Swan is also one of my favourite films of this year so far. The inspiring thing about Black Swan is its ability to enable multiple readings depending on each viewer’s individual experience of watching the film; I’ve come across discussions about the destructive yet beautiful spirit of competition, the disturbing nature of the mother/daughter relationship which is subtly infused into the core elements of the film, the struggles of a timid girl grappling with womanhood and so on. The religious reading however, is one I haven’t come across. A wonderful and insightful take on Black Swan.
