Darren Aronofsky

I may have only seen one of his movies, but it was amazing. "Black Swan" was one of the best movies I've seen this year. I saw it twice, even though it was insanely bloody and raunchy. His ideas to warp the ballet "Swan Lake" into a psycho, schizophrenic ride through the mind of an insanely disturbed ballerina (Nina) is both stunning and horrifying. Natalie Portman won the Oscar for her role as Nina and the movie was nomiated for Best Film. It may have lost to "The King's Speech," but it's still amazing.
