Product Description

Product Description

“You can’t tear your eyes away” (Entertainment Weekly) from this “wicked, psychosexual thriller” (Daily Variety) starring ACADEMY AWARD® WINNER Natalie Portman* and directed by Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler ). Portman delivers “the performance of her career” (Vanity Fair ) as Nina, a stunningly talented but dangerously unstable ballerina on the verge of stardom. Pushed to the breaking point by her driven artistic director (Vincent Cassel) and the threat posed by a seductive rival dancer (Mila Kunis), Nina’s tenuous grip on reality starts to slip away – plunging her into a waking nightmare.

Amazon.com

Feverish worlds such as espionage and warfare have nothing on the hothouse realm of ballet, as director Darren Aronofsky makes clear in Black Swan, his over-the-top delve into a particularly fraught production of Swan Lake. At the very moment hard-working ballerina Nina (Natalie Portman) lands the plum role of the White Swan, her company director (Vincent Cassel) informs her that she'll also play the Black Swan--and while Nina's precise, almost virginal technique will serve her well in the former role, the latter will require a looser, lustier attack. The strain of reaching within herself for these feelings, along with nattering comments from her mother (Barbara Hershey) and the perceived rivalry from a new dancer (Mila Kunis), are enough to make anybody crack… and tracing out the fault lines of Nina's breakdown is right in Aronofsky's wheelhouse. Those cracks are broad indeed, as Nina's psychological instability is telegraphed with blunt-force emphasis in this neurotic roller-coaster ride. The characters are stick figures--literally, in the case of the dancers, but also as single-note stereotypes in the horror show: witchy bad mommy, sexually intimidating male boss, wacko diva (Winona Ryder, as the prima ballerina Nina is replacing). Yet the film does work up some crazed momentum (and undeniably earned its share of critical raves), and the final sequence is one juicy curtain-dropper. A good part of the reason for this is the superbly all-or-nothing performance by Natalie Portman, who packs an enormous amount of ferocity into her small body. Kudos, too, to Tchaikovsky's incredibly durable music, which has meshed well with psychological horror at least since being excerpted for the memorably moody opening credits of the 1931 Dracula, another pirouette through the dark side. --Robert Horton

Wow, this film is Great!
5 Stars
Wow, this film is Great!
I watched this film at a theater near me on early march when was available in my town, after the academy awards and was a shock! Actually this is a great film, some kinda mental but with the thriller at the core with some traces of good old horror flicks. I remember the comments on amazon abut this one when I didn't see it, one was remarkable talking about an Argento style rip-off. Anyway, here is what you got: a sneak peek into the ballet (I'm a totally ignorant about it) world with the just portion of sensuality and sexual intensity with both feeling repression and untamed rage in a black atmosphere of human emotions and mental affections. Great film for troubled mother-daughter relationships...and Natalie Portman, & Mila Kunis are/look so gorgeous, and a very decadent Wynona Ryder and Vincent Cassel as usual, totally amazing performance of the whole cast and the music is simple sublime. I'm going now through the extras that are a deep view on the film-making, not to forget the pretty double ballerina of Miss Portman. Now I understand why Degas loved so much the ballerinas!
