Black Swan (2010)

Nina decides that perfection matters more than survival and the film follows that decision to its end. She cracks bones and peels skin and hallucinates and none of it stops her because stopping would mean accepting limits. Maybe that's how al-Mutanabbi achieved what he achieved too: by refusing the boundary between self and work until there's nothing left to separate. "I was perfect" is the last thing she says. She means it. That it kills her is not the point, and you watch her face and know she would do it again. #Cinema
