"To my everlasting shame — the film is so good I hate to admit to it — I never watched it until last Saturday because I was in Italy promoting Slumdog and they loved Slumdog and I felt abject because I hadn’t seen The Bicycle Thief. Nobody asked about it but I ran out and got it the Saturday following. It’s the most beautiful film. Do not be put off by the fact it’s black and white or in Italian. It is the most beautiful film about a father and a son than I’ve ever seen."

"I thought this movie was mind-blowing. It’s a western and a morality play. It was everything. And of course [Toshiro] Mifune was so unbelievable. That impressed me for my whole childhood. It’s black and white but I remember it in color, which is weird. There’s another film — the Japanese films had a big effect on me. There’s a movie called Mishima, and this was about a suicide in Tokyo. Some movies are inextricably bound to a kind of era of expression and that’s another one from that same era."

I rewatched this movie for the first time since it came out in theaters. Once again, I was struck by the way Darren Aronofsky twists your mind around when telling a story. In a way, Black Swan reminded me of the Satoshi Kon film “Perfect Blue,” inasmuch as you, the audience is unsure of what is real, and how much is the result of our unstable protagonist, Nina.

In many ways, Nina’s story mirrors that of Swan Lake, except all the characters are parts of herself. Repressed by an overbearing mother and sexually frustrated, she embodies the white swan—and it’s only by releasing her sexual self, the black swan, that she can truly be free.

Characters and their backstories- huge variety
Each episode focuses on a different character
Smart, well-cast and refreshing series, you're bound to love at least one of the characters. Made it to my top 3 series, can't wait for the next season
Contains spoilers, click to show
Funny but without actually trying to be funny, each character is widely different from the other. Sam and Coco are polar opposites,Sam is an activists and constantly aims to prove that she is 'black-enough' even though she's dating a white guy, whereas Coco tries to break away from all the stereotypes associated with her complexion by opting to associate herself with just white friends (Coco and The Marshmallows). I loved the series because it covered pretty much every background possibly, ended up binge watching it over 2 days!
