Darren Aronofsky

What makes a Darren Aronofsky film a Darren Aronofsky film

Across 9 films, they run much more strangeness, much more existential weight and much more spirituality than films in general. Their films resemble each other more than chance would account for, though not unusually so.

The line down the middle is the average film. A bar to the right means more of that reading than films in general, to the left less. Drawn from every film of theirs in the catalogue, not a selection.
