Black Swan (2010)

Genre: Horror
Directed by: Darren Aronofsky
Cast: Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey, Winona Ryder
Running Time: 108 minutes

 


Nina Sayers is a young ballerina working in New York City. She is competing for the dual roles of the White and Black Swan in a production of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. She is the perfect choice for one of the roles, but the production wants the same ballerina to hold both roles. As she is trying to find the darker side of herself, Nina slowly descends into madness.

With Aronofsky’s adept direction and Natalie Portman’s incredible performance, this film remains a must see. Wow. And the rest of the cast is also very, very good. I had seen it years ago, and revisiting it again made me realize how great this movie is.
