I missed this film at the cinema but was intrigued by all the hype.It addresses the nature of obsession and the quest for perfection resulting in the ultimate sacrifice! I don't want to go into too much detail and spoil it for any-one,suffice it to say,watch this if you like stimulating your grey matter!...Highly recommended also as a 'fly on the wall' insight into the dedication it takes to be a ballerina.
Really good film, specially if you are familiar with Swan Lake, but rather sad. This is a about a ballerina who hates her mother's control and wants so much to succeed in the role of Odete/Odile. Throughout rehersals we see her affected with mental illness, and although her performance is briliant (specially as Odile)) the end is as tragic as the story. Beautifully acted, directed and filmed, wonderful incidental music based on Tchaikovsky's original score and VERY emotional - so if you're like me, get the tissues ready - you'l need them.
Psychological thriller with a strong story line, good characters and Unexpected twists and turns

Having seen Black Swan several times in the cinema I decided I must have my own copy. If you're interested in ballet, this is a brilliant 'dark' movie! Natalie Portman's portrayal of a dancer driven to the edge in her quest for the perfect performance is simply riveting. It's a gripping story about the harsh competition between dancers and tinged with sex and anorexia and self harm. Simply fascinating...
Good quality dvd.
