This.
Aside from The Wrestler (which was still highly rated by both critics and audiences) and his first few films that I don't think can even be accessed, every single one of his films are among my very favorites of all time. Plus it's the kind of film that not only do I really like but one that's perfect for Aronofsky's talents (thriller, drama, with (psychological/horror/fantasy?) elements). There's also something about what we see in the trailer and the general atmosphere of it (something I'm getting very good vibes from) that has me really intruiged in the film's story even at this stage, from the opening dialogue (another area where this film seems pretty solid) from Natalie Portman's character to the closing moments of the trailer and wtf was even happening (I'm also a big fan of omg moments and plot twists). The cast is also pretty decent. I don't want to be overly presumptious but I'll be pretty surprised if it doesn't beat Inception (which is the current FOTY).
