I got mind raped last night. Headed out to see Black Swan directed by Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, The Fountain, Requiem For A Dream) and I only knew a couple things about this film. Lesbian shit, ballet, and crazy makeup. Doesn’t seem like much of a reason to see something but I love Portman and the film looked cool. I hated The Wrestler but loved The Fountain so I decided to give old Aronofsky another try.
The film stars Natalie Portman (The Professional, Brothers, V For Vendetta) as Nina Sayers, a ballet dancer who is following in her mothers (Barbara Hershey) footsteps. If you walked into this girls room you would think she was 9. Bunnies and pink crap everywhere. A new girl shows up to the school who doesn’t seem to give a fuck but dances great played by Mila Kunis (That 70’s Show, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Family Guy) as Lily. Vincent Cassel (Eastern Promises, Ocean’s 13, Brotherhood of the Wolf) stars as Thomas Leroy the guy running the Swan Lake play.
