Who is Darren Aronofsky?
- “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.

- Black Swan. "Black Swan" effortlessly combines numerous genres — psychological horror, backstage drama, female melodrama, and claustrophobic thriller — into the kind of sublime achievement Natalie Portman's ballerina Nina doggedly pursues in her own art.
- Requiem for a Dream. Some films make such an impact that you want to watch them again and again. Others make such an impact that you know one watch will prove sufficient.
- mother! There are no fewer than three stories occurring within Darren Aronofsky's "mother! ," all of which battle for dominance throughout the movie. On the surface, there's a flailing poet known as Him (Javier Bardem) trying to write his masterpiece in seclusion while staving off any attention or support from his doting — and pregnant — wife, Mother (Jennifer Lawrence).
- The Wrestler. According to Aronofsky, he began developing "The Wrestler" and "Black Swan" in tandem before splitting them into separate projects. With that in mind, it's easy to spot the similarities between Mickey Rourke's Randy "The Ram" Robinson and Natalie Portman's Nina Sayers: Both push their bodies to dangerous lengths in order to reach the pinnacle of success in their chosen fields.
