This Week: Darren Aronofsky

Darren Aronofsky, award winning writer and director, has quite the filmography. With Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan and The Wrestler he had critical and financial success. Aronofskys films tend to be often disturbing and experimental, while diving into psychologically unsettling themes.

What does KTT think?

idk why but i was so surprised when I found out this dude is just from brooklyn lmao

I like him tho genuinely interesting choice in projects. I feel mother is overhated and wrestler overrated

pi is his best film hands down, such a strong debut.

this entire scene alone is one of his best

mother! Is so overhated

He came off as a little pretentious during the press run, and the movie is very heavy handed with the messaging

But the overall film is great

Think he is overrated or at least I personally don't find his films all that interesting. I do enjoy Pi tho, fantastic soundtrack

Love his movies

Some good, some bad.

Mother! was a recent classic.

Black Swan is amazing

His films are either overwhelming or underwhelming. But I've mostly been overwhelmed

One of the best to come out in the 90's

It's hard to beat a run that has Requiem, The Fountain and Black Swan.

The Fountain is one of the 2000s most beautiful movies.

Great filmmaker but somehow has never made a film that really is a 10/10 for me (haven’t seen Requiem since like 10 years ago and have yet to see the Wrestler)

Also idk why but Black Swan is one of my least fav Aronofsky films (still great) even though for most people its their favorite

I like his style, and he always seems to come up with an interesting idea.. but he also sometimes either goes overboard with his concept or underdevelops it

PI is my favorite thing he’s done and it’s very underrated imo. The score is masterful and this film is a perfect case of the low budget helping the picture. Just keeping it simple, experimenting here and there while still being engaging

Hasn’t dropped a stinker ever imo

Not a lot of ppl share this opinion but i do, one of the finest soundtracks ever

The fountain super slept on

Love The Wrestler, Pi is one of my most memorable first watches of a movie those are his standouts imo, I’m waiting on his next film, plot sounds nuts, i appreciate what he does very very interesting style

Never been a fan

The Whale coming soon

There’s a new film that’s pretty good called “catch the fair one” that he’s the executive producer of

pushing the thread with a clip of Aronofsky not knowing who Mario Bava is lmao

Bruh gave me Black Swan and Mother! so he cool with me

@iCarly_Japan where's the new thread at?

was thinking about putting the series on hold for awhile

Ah i gotcha. Be good fam
