Black Swan Click to look into! >> Read More... is a psychological thriller flick, released on 25th February 2011.

Plot: The story unfolds around a Ballerina dancer Nina (Portman) based in New York’s prestigious Ballet Company who is like any other ambitious dancer consumed by her dance. Her mother, who is herself a former Ballerina Dancer, always keeps constraints over her and chokes her with restrictions. Her life is completely changed when inventive director named Thomas Leroy ( Vincent Cassel Vincent Cassel is a French actor widely known for >> Read More... ) approaches her to supplant his prime ballet dancer Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) meant for the production of the new unit, Swan Lake. She faces many challenges including her financial stress and her stark rival Lily (Kunis). Nina develops her skill to meet the requirement of title role in Swan Lake. Swan Lake involves a ballerina who can justify the role of both innocent White Swan (the virtuous soul) and Black Swan which represents treachery and sensuality.

Meanwhile, the two dancer advances in their rehearsals, their rivalry turns into an abnormal companionship. Nina becomes close to her and gets to know more of her evil side which in turn destroys her.

Natalie Portman’s acting skills is on full display in the role of White Swan, definitely a performance worthy of winning Oscars. Mila Kunis’ performance came as a surprise to the viewers. The musical score of the movie gathered a lot of appreciation from the audience.

The best part of the movie is that the viewers got to see the unseen part of the traditional Ballet that can’t be seen in conventional movies based on dance. The major turn off for the viewers was the unnecessary dragging the emotional sequences in the movie. The movie came out to be a great success by grossing over $106,952,327 in USA alone.

Verdict: To sum up, Black Swan is an engrossing and amazing engagement of mind for 110 minutes.
