After Darren's script for Pi (1998) received great reactions from friends, he began production. The film re-teamed Aronofsky with Gullette, who played the lead. This went on to further successes, such as Requiem for a Dream (2000), The Wrestler (2008) and Black Swan (2010). Most recently, he completed the films Noah (2014) and Mother! (2017).

His films are noted for their surreal, melodramatic, and often disturbing elements, frequently in the form of psychological fiction . Aronofsky studied film and social anthropology at Harvard University before studying directing at the AFI ...
- “The Wrestler” (2008) Mickey Rourke gives a career-best performance as Randy “The Ram” Robinson, a once-famous professional wrestler who now barely scrapes by at a trailer park, refusing to stop wrestling even though his doctors say it will kill him.
- “Requiem for a Dream” (2000) It might not be his best work, but “Requiem for a Dream” does seem to be Darren Aronofsky’s magnum opus, a grand and impactful drama about a group of people who fall prey, in various forms, to the perils of drug addiction.
- “Pi” (1998) Aronofsky’s debut feature finds the filmmaker working at an incredibly small scale, but he fills all the frames in this film with big, mind-bending ideas.
- “Noah” (2014) Many of Aronofsky’s films are biblical in spirit, so you’d think when he actually got his hands on the Old Testament, it would a natural fit.

Aronofsky's weakest film also centers around one of the best performances in any of his films, as the story centers around Charlie (Brendan Fraser), a 600-pound man who never leaves his home, and wants to connect and reconcile with his daughter Ellie (Sadie Sink). Under massive amounts of makeup and prosthetics, Fraser gives a remarkable performanc...
Noah is a difficult balancing act. Thematically, it’s in a similar place as mother!, but it’s trying to exist between being a biblical epic and an intimate human drama that still deals with Aronofsky’s frequent topics of obsession and death. However, the film still gets bogged down in what details need explanation and which ones don’t. There’s no w...
Darren Aronofsky’s debut feature isn’t his best movie, but it’s one that shows the immense promise of a young filmmaker. It’s a film that’s grown on me over time as it shows the intensity of Aronofsky’s vision and his unrelenting drive to get to themes he finds important. The plot deals with a number theorist who believes that Pi holds surprising a...
mother! was a film built ready for audiences to hate it, and as time has shown, many people did. Aronofsky has discussed the many, many metaphors at work here, and what the deeper meaning behind this film is, and while that's all well and good, mother! excels because of how batshit crazy it is. Aronofsky is throwing so much insanity in the way of m...
This is the film that arguably put Aronofsky on the map, and made Clint Mansell’s theme the go-to trailer music for about half a decade. While the broad overview of the movie looks like the world’s most effective anti-drug PSA, what Aronofsky is reaching for is something that goes to the heart of his filmography, which is obsession and suffering. T...
Aronofsky’s 2010 psychological horror surprisingly ended up in that year’s Oscar race pulling in nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Film Editing, and earning Best Actress for Natalie Portman. Even more surprising is that it’s kind of a more elegant riff on Aronofsky’s previous film, The Wrestler. Both movies ...
Although it will probably be best remembered as the brief, shining moment where Mickey Rourke’s career experienced a brief resurgence (and in all fairness he deserved to win Best Actor that year), The Wrestler is a deeply empathetic and earnest movie that shows a serious respect towards a kind of performance art that’s too easily dismissed for bein...
If you know my favorite movies, this shouldn’t surprise you. I’ve watched The Fountain countless times. I’m constantly in awe of its craft, its emotional resonance, and its unabashed earnestness. It’s telling that Aronofsky’s most moving feature is also the one that’s about death. While I feel like the marketing misconstrued what the film was about...
