    Darren Aronofsky movies are about characters heading for destruction. They are either following a dream, a passion, a career or an addiction, but it all leads to the same place. Aronofsky isn’t the first director to tackle such dark themes but he has mastered extreme techniques that make his films stand alone.
    In films like Pi and Requiem for a Dream, Aronofsky redefines extreme cinema with arresting and aggressive techniques. In The Fountain and Noah, he pulls back on technique and allows a more graceful presentation of madness. The Wrestler and Black Swan become complementary movies about professions that demand physical transformations. For these films, Darren Aronofsky films abandon his aggressive formalism for a gritty and lo-fi aesthetic.
    Darren Aronofsky movies get under your skin and he uses every film element to make this happen. In this video, we’ve broken down Darren Aronofsky’s directing style into 7 categories including cinematography, editing, music, color, and more. By examining these elements in isolation, we can understand the big picture and begin to see what makes Aronofsky’s films so distinct and gripping.

  • @tomgebarowski8156

    He is a great modern director but is in some ways "an acquired taste". His visual style is edgy, intense, often surreal. His movies have universal themes, but are not conventional aa they show dark territories of the human experience. Many characters are driven, obsessed, addicted, self-destructive in the end. Black Swan is a great example. His characters stop at nothing in their pursuits, even if it will destroy them. He is a film auteur & bold creative genius!

    He is a truly wonderful director, but his films are very hard to watch a second time. They all have another thing in common that was not mentioned in this video: They are all enormously bleak and end without any hope. Unlike, say, Paul Thomas Anderson who's films are just as complex and dark at times, often seem to provide the characters (and audience) with some, if only faint, sense of hope.
    And one thing I would call as a flaw in Aronofsky's films: no sense of humor AT ALL. But he is, without question, a great director.

      @janostkamper167 4 года назад +2

      Even though Aronofsky's movies inherit no definite uplifting resolution for the character in the end, I personally sense the fountain as an ode to salvation for all of us.
      Which is quite hopeful.
      What I feel is that Aronofsky is a modern, deeply analytical director compared to the "emotional" directors of the 80s e.g. Spielberg which makes him for me more of a realist,
      but what he still manages is to find the beauty of the moment.
      This no definite statement, just my personal opinion.
      Please feel free to disagree. :)
