Fox Searchlight have released a new video for Black Swan<\/a><\/strong> detailing the production design by Th\u00e9r\u00e8se DePrez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She and director Darren Aronofsky<\/a> discuss their ideas behind the look of the Swan Lake<\/a> set, the colour palette and the extensive use of mirrors in the film.<\/p>\n

Some Oscar pundits have felt that Black Swan is too dark a film to get widespread Oscar recognition, but although more conservative viewers may be put off by the wilder aspects, it deserves to be a strong contender across multiple categories.<\/p>\n

Not only is Natalie Portman now gaining serious traction for Best Actress<\/a>, but the sheer quality of the technical aspects (cinematography, costume and production design) may well give it a boost as audiences in the US finally get to see it.<\/p>\n

Plus, in recent years haven’t Academy voters increasingly gone for darker and more contemporary films such as The Hurt Locker, No Country for Old Men and The Departed?<\/p>\n
