Black Swan (2010)

Okay, now THIS was the best movie of (according to imdb) 2010. Finally released in the UK is Darren Aronofsky's movie about ballet. "The Wrestler" was a fairly down-to-earth (by Aronofsky's standards) movie about the hell of being a semi-retired wrestler, meanwhile "Black Swan" is a nightmarish semi-fantasy movie about the hell of being an aspiring ballet professional. It's visually gorgeous and pulls your emotions in all directions.
