2nd Film Black Swan

• Film – Black Swan

• Director - Darren Aronofsky

• Distributing Company - Fox Searchlight Pictures

• When released – September 1st 2010

• Plot - Nina, 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 who supports her daughter's professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy decides to replace ballerina Beth for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition, a new dancer, Lily, 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.
