Black Swan

Hauntingly beautiful and spine-chilling, Darren Aronofsky’s new film Black Swan is so captivating we guarantee you won’t be able to look away. Natalie Portman plays Nina, a dancer in a New York City ballet company, who is given the lead role in their production of Swan Lake. But first she has to compete with new arrival Lily (Mila Kunis) who threatens to take the role for herself.

The film tells the story of the Black Swan and the White Swan, who represent good and evil. As Nina becomes more and more obsessed with the role, strange and twisted things start to happen and she soon finds herself in the middle of a terrifying nightmare.

Whether you’re an aspiring ballet dancer or have two left feet, psychological thriller Black Swan is worth taking a trip to the flicks for. The film has received five star reviews all over the world and we think Director Aronofsky has created a masterpiece, with Portman as the star of the show. The visual effects are subtle but stunning and the exquisite costumes are a must-see for any fashionista.

Natalie Portman has spoken about the gruelling training regime she went through to become a ballet dancer, practicing for 5 hours every day, while filming other movies. She also dislocated her rib from the intensive training, but still carried on. Miss Portman, we salute you!
