Sneak Peak at
"Black Swan"
"Black Swan" follows the story of Nina (Natalie Portman), a
ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those
in her profession, is completely consumed with dance.
She
lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who
zealously supports her daughter’s professional ambition.
When
artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace
prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening
production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice.
But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Mila Kunis), who
impresses Leroy as well.
Swan Lake requires a dancer who can
play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan,
who represents guile and sensuality.
Nina fits the White Swan
role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As
the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship,
Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness
that threatens to destroy her.
More bizzare film action from the director of "The Fountain" - brilliant but weird!
