Guardian writer defends Black Swan as a comfort film

Original: ‘A rare indulgence’: why Black Swan is my feelgood movie By Charles Carrall The latest in our series of writers explaini

Writing in the Guardian, Charles Carrall has named Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan as his go-to feelgood film, calling the dark ballet nightmare a rare indulgence and unusually satisfying watch. It is the latest in the paper's series where writers explain their personal comfort films, and the choice stands out for picking such a tense, unsettling movie.

Why now: Readers are drawn to the contrarian idea that a dark psychological thriller could count as a comfort film
