A beautifully, dark ballet film

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2011)

I have first heard of this film from the poster ad, and footage from the Oscars when the film's actress Natalie Portman won the Oscar for Best Actress. So I had gotten curious and I wanted to see it. Well I had ordered the film when it came on DVD online and I had watched the film a couple of times; I love it, it is a beautifully, dark ballet film.
The film explores a New York ballet dancer Nina Sayers (Portman) who had got the starring role in the company's production of "Swan Lake," but slowly goes on the brink of madness. You know, I never liked the director in the film, he's such a lecherous bastard. I had loved Natalie in the "Star Wars" films and I certainly love her in this film; I thought she had deserved that Oscar for Best Actress.
So, I love really this film from beginning to end that's all I could say. And I also love that bits of Tchaikovsky's score from "Swan Lake" added to the soundtrack.
