Engaging and anguished

Rating: 8/10 (9 June 2016)

Movie full of surprises and in parts nearly horror.
Perfectly able to involve the viewer and make him share the thoughts of Nina.
The theatrical soundtrack became a distressing and repetitive chant, recurring throughout the movie in a crescendo of volume.
Definitely not a simple film, full of very current insights, which is one of the features that I love the most in a movie.
It also opened my eyes to an unknown reality to me:
the world of ballet, or in general, sport practiced at high levels.
Stress and surprises were mixed perfectly to form the framework of a life always looking for perfection.
