Darren Aronofsky once said, “I’m Godless. I’ve had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmaking.” And in the church of cinema, the 44-year-old director ranks high on the list of worship. As one of the most psychologically enticing and visually minded filmmakers working today, he creates haunting worlds full of desperate and passionate characters clinging to intangible ideals. As intelligent as he is artistic, Aronofsky’s films come alive through his brilliant knowledge of how to tell a story through dialogue and images, but also characterized by the his ear for music and the help of composer Clint Mansell.
And as today marks the 44th birthday of Aronofsky and his famous petit mustache, let’s take a look back on some of his best work with behind-the-scenes clips and favorites from his amazing soundtracks.

He created this unreal poster (which has SO MUCH WORK involved, it’s CRAZY), which is now, say it with me, the Official poster for the awards ceremony. You can see each statue, much closer, here
And the Academy has started selling the offset digital poster of this image here.
Stunning. OPEN IT IN HIGH RES.
This is amazing.
