Black Swan
Darren Aronofsky’s psychological thriller set in the world of New York ballet. Powerful, gripping and always intriguing, it also features a lead performance from Natalie Portman.
She plays Nina Sayers, a member of the corps in her company, feeling that time may be passing her by. But then Tomas, the company’s artistic director (Vincent Cassel) dispenses with his star ballerina (Winona Ryder) and gives Nina her first lead role - as the Swan Queen in Swan Lake.
But it’s clear that Nina has emotional problems that will be exacerbated by the pressure of stardom. She lives with her mother (an excellent Barbara Hershey), herself once a dancer with thwarted ambitions, who cossets and infantilises her daughter. Nina, meanwhile, is prone to self-harm, random acts of petty theft and disturbing fever dreams.
