When the director of a popular ballet company chooses her to play the lead role in the new version of his production, Swan Lake, Nina (Natalie Portman) sees all her hard work and commitment as a ballet dancer paying off. But Nina has competition from a new dancer, Lily (Mila Kunis). Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the graceful White Swan, and the Black Swan, who represents the dark side of seduction and sensuality. And while Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly, the director believes Lily's spontaneity more closely represents the Black Swan. Nina faces off Lily in an increasingly complicated relationship. Or is it just her mind playing tricks?
A good psychological thriller, but only for serious movie buffs. Natalie Portman puts in a fantastic performance!
