The Whale

Darren Aronofsky was born in Brooklyn in 1969; he is a director, screenwriter and producer. He studied anthropology at Harvard to then learn the secrets of directing at the American Film Institute. His full-length debut  Pi received an award at the Sundance and Independent Spirit festival for his screenplay.  The Wrestler brought him a Golden Lion in Venice while the  Black Swan garnered an Oscar nomination. With each subsequent work, Aronofsky proves his exceptional sensitivity to cinematic language and form, creating films that escape the traditional genres while often polarizing audiences and critics.
