The magical world of dance and cruel is the background of this film, in which Nina (Natalie Portman) professional dancer's dance company in New York, long with all of herself the role of Queen of the swans, Swan Lake in the work. Nina is a perfectionist, has a mother oppressive former dancer who has never accepted that he had left his career. It 's a girl very hard-perhaps too-and no distractions, just the opposite of how Thomas would like (Vincent Cassel), his dance teacher, who sees it perfect for the role of the white swan, and fragile fearful, but not enough to that of the black swan far more seductive and deceptive. Nina takes the place of Beth (Winona Rider), now an adult dancer,
old, but perfect, trying to imitate perfection in every way. He meets Lily (Mila Kunis), a new dancer in the company just arrived, nice, seductive and provocative that can certainly blow the role out from under the nose of Nina, which is in turn in the shoes of those who see their careers stealing in a flash and the role of protagonist. Something begins to change, Nina sees strange things and heard strange voices:
reality or hallucination?
Darren Aronofksy director of Black Swan directs a psychological thriller in which the principle of everything is the mind of Nina, which is developing a second personality, probably always present, but obscured and hidden from the determination by the fragility and the absolute concentration on being at all costs a perfect dancer. Natalie Portman has a past (and see) from ballet dancer, the movie keeps standing all alone, backed by Kunis is found that the great role of women in provocative and dangerous. Winona Rider anonymous hand, in the role of Beth, for the record that plays a girl / women and marginalized angry ... again!
Basically the film is especially understandable for an audience that knows anything about the ballet, which knows the world of dance and how it can be dangerous and devious the rivalries between the dancers and how well can go to get a dancer who dreams of a life role.
