Stars: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Vincent Cassel

Director: Darren Aronofsky

A psychological thriller set in the world of New York City ballet, BLACK SWAN stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company (Mila Kunis). A Fox Searchlight Pictures release by visionary director Darren Aronofsky (THE WRESTLER), BLACK SWAN takes a thrilling and at times terrifying journey through the psyche of a young ballerina whose starring role as the duplicitous swan queen turns out to be a part for which she becomes frighteningly perfect. BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter,s professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her. -- (C) Official Site

This film is the single greatest cinematic experience I've had in the last ten years. I just watched it for the second time on the big screen - and amazingly it was even more powerful. And it's certainly not just about craziness.

@DrUgSkIDOO

It was the lesbian scene that shocked them!? What about the fingering scene?

[Eerie0Innocence]

My mom and I went to go see this movie in theaters. During the more...provocative scenes...we both got uncomfortable.

Mom: Oh shit lesbians...

Me: Oh shit what is my mom gonna say...?

[Rangerwolf447]

Sadly this film is only going to be known for the make out between Kuniz and Portman

"Requiem for a Dream is the best movie you never want to see again..."?

I own both the soundtrack and the movie and it stands as one of my favorites of all the movies I've seen.

[BenjaminSteber]

I'm one of the few people that hates this movie. I've seen a lot of movies, I've never seen any with such one-dimensional characters

[clarkallard]

I dont feel like watching this whole video. Someone tell me when the lesbian scene is.
