White Swan and Black Swan. Good and evil. The second will dominate over the former for the sake of art ...

Rating: 9/10 (25 December 2010)

Girl Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman), full of promise, a ballerina of the New York ballet. Her life was entirely focused on dancing, and achieving success in their careers. Is largely due to her upbringing. Mama Nina's Eric (Barbara Hershey), a former ballerina, not having achieved recognition, despite all his care, has a negative impact on the girl smothering control and imposing their own ambitions.
Plot of the story begins with the moment when the artistic director of Ballet of Nina Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) replaces the prima ballerina Beth McIntyre (Winona Ryder) to open the new season production of "Swan Lake".
In selecting the lead role, he seeks not a ballerina and actress who will be able to bring on stage two images: white swan and black swan. Heroine Portman, who can not translate the second image due to its internal "trapped" in a strange way, this gets the role, but as it turned out, Thomas wants by all means unleash its nature, a sexual desire. "Fuel to the fire," she adds Lily (Mila Kunis), in which Nina sees the embodiment of that very black swan. Thoughts and close dialogue seems expensive to achieve the goal - to grasp the essence of assigned roles in the forthcoming statement, but is it true? The plot of the fifth feature film by Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan" is built on the theme of the possible existence of two sides of personality and rivalry between a man first and foremost with themselves.

Judging by the scene, the plot films can certainly blame the film for some of the secondary with respect to the known past films ("All About Eve," "Fight Club", "Lodger", "Inland Empire") that it would be wrong. "Black Swan" is a film, a variation on the same topic, but he has an original in its development and serve the audience on the screen. In a picture Aronofsky the dual personality is good suppression before harm, a white swan before the black swan, restricting self-checking before a freedom. Freedom to which so heroine Natali Portman for the sake of convincing game on a scene of theater of ballet aspires, appears for it secret defects destructive and at the same time captivating by realization, desires and own possibilities. Freedom to which the heroine is so eager to Natalie Portman for the sake of convincing the game at the Theatre Ballet, turns to her destructive and at the same time captivating the implementation of secret vices, desires and their own capabilities.
Video series of films was made in the style of "The Wrestler' a, simulating an amateur video of a combination of surreal fantasies of transforming the image of the heroine movie Nina Sayers.
This inventive in its storytelling film-horror/triller about ballet keeps in suspense until its strange, creepy and compelling finale. Fans of scary tales and crazy stories are unlikely to remain indifferent.
