Starring Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Winona Ryder, Black Swan is the story of a New York City ballet company going through the process of finding a new lead ballerina.
Winona Ryder is the outgoing prima ballerina leaving Kunis and Portman to compete for the lead role in Swan Lake.
The problem is this. The lead requires a performer who can play both sweet White Swan and also play the dark Black Swan. Portman's character is a natural for the White Swan while Kunis embodies the Black Swan meaning that the competition will come to which woman can find a way to play her opposite side.
Aronofsky is renowned for his eccentric and often confusing films, so I'm sure that there will be moments in Black Swan that make us all scratch our heads and ask the person beside us if we really saw what we think we saw.
At least I hope so.
Stay tuned for more news, photos and trailers from Black Swan as it goes through the Film Fest circuit this fall and secures a public release date.
