This is the 4th year. What is the best of the best chosen by these film sommeliers?

In the special category "A Person's Pick," where prominent figures from various fields name their most memorable film of 2011, director Lee Sang-il selected Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan." He commented, "The director's inhumanity is superb. Natalie Portman's ecstasy, pushed to physical and mental extremes, is agonizing. His sense and skill in visually depicting her moment of suffering, enduring it all, and finally succumbing to pleasure are breathtaking. The thorough sadism of director Darren Aronofsky is likely what enabled him to achieve such a difficult visual representation of 'madness.' I want to learn from it."

"Black Swan" was overwhelmingly voted number one, based on ballots from 128 independent cinemas nationwide (a collective term for privately owned, NPO, or community-based cinemas such as mini-theaters, neighborhood cinemas, and regional multiplexes) for films released between December 2010 and the end of November 2011.
