Black Swan
Natalie Portman stars in this unusual, but captivating tale. The piece controversially addresses some of the underlying issues, young ballerinas are rumoured to face in the industry . Whilst the concept initially received criticism for being somewhat outdated. It harbours a range of surrealist qualities which allude to both symbolism and realism. For these reasons, (in addition to an astonishing range of the themes, effects, and ideas) it would be unreasonable to categorize BS as a one trick pony. Be prepared for an exceptional dichotomy between intensely dark suspense, and impeccably delicate fragility.
