film choices




black swan     (do this one)

Darren Aronofsky’s dark, dreamy masterpiece stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a ballerina competing for the lead role in a production of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. Although Nina is a perfect match for the innocent White Swan, this production requires the same performer to play the Black Swan role as well.
The sensuality and dark intrigue embodied by the Black Swan make Lily (Mila Kunis) another top contender for the spot. The stress of competition, her new training regiment, and an overbearing mother all the force Nina slowly to lose her grasp on reality. As fact blends with fantasy, Nina loses her ability to distinguish dreams from the world outside her troubled mind.
