After, the artistic director Thomas Leroy ( Vincent Cassel ) of his recent Prima Ballerina Beth MacIntyre ( Winona Ryder ) 'discards', gets the young, aspiring ballet dancer Nina Sayers ( Natalie Portman ) the opportunity of a lifetime. You will dance in "Swan Lake", one of the most famous ballets to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the dual role of Princess Odette, who was appointed by the magician Rothbart turns into a swan, Odette, and seductive, negative image of Odile. The ballet director Nina holds for the representation of the innocent white swan for the perfect Occupation, but to represent the seductive black swan, it lacks passion and sensuality. Nina will be raised by her single mother, Erica ( Barbara Hershey) to perfection. Erica was also a dancer himself, but had to give up her job after she admitted with the choreographer and Nina became pregnant. Nina developed hallucinations and paranoid idea that the newcomer Lily ( Mila Kunis) would take away her role in "Swan Lake". Lily is in every respect the exact opposite of Nina, she tries everything, going to parties, has sex and taking drugs. When Lily starts an evening with Nina, she also gives her drugs, and both have later in the evening sex with each other. When Nina wakes up the next morning alone and Lily at rehearsals for the speech is, they know nothing about it. The boundaries between reality and Nina's delusions are increasingly blurred. The night before the premiere she imagines that the pictures speak their mother with her. She pulls a black feather from the wound on her shoulder, after which change color her eyes red and her legs turn into the extremities of a swan. You can not keep his balance, strikes to the head and passes out. After Nina on the day of the premiere force must force her mother to let them out of the house, Thomas Leroy has already asked Lily, the role to dance the Swan Queen, but Nina can convince Thomas that she can even dance the "Swan Lake" premiere. During the break, but she finds Lily in the costume of the black swan in her dressing room. They have a row, during which she kills Lily with a shard of broken mirror. Nina is dancing a furious third act and turns it - in their imagination - a black swan. When Nina's preparations for the fourth act, however, Lily appears again and congratulates her on her performance. Lily's death is apparently just been a hallucination, but Nina has injured himself in the mirror broken and bleeding. Nevertheless, she dances the fourth act as a white swan perfect, succumbs But at the end of her injury, her last words are still during the final applause, "It was perfect."

The film is set in the context of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City , will come when the ballet "Swan Lake" performed. May well create the impression that the film give real insight into the world of ballet. But the film uses just about every cliché that one comes to mind about ballet. Therefore, one does well to see the ballet only as an environment for the portrait of a young woman in a state of spiritual and mental disorder. In reality, there may actually after extreme or excessive, prolonged stress come to personality disorders. Unfortunately, the film shows us a few scenes from "Swan Lake" with the Pennsylvania Ballet (Choreography: Benjamin Millepied). Later than the "Swan Lake" premiere was also the most viewers may not be clear that no one seriously injured can dance the third and fourth act of the ballet. Who's "Swan Lake" is familiar, for which at least the end of the story predictable, after all, the plot is based on "Black Swan" tries a bit more on the ballet, and Nina Sayers, to be the perfect swan queen. Most of the scenes of the film were shot with a handheld camera that is constantly is in motion, orbiting the dancers and to capture close-ups of the art movements of their attempts. I consider this some settings restless, almost "shake".

director Darren Aronofsky had contacted Natalie Portman (born June 9, 1981 in Jerusalem), ten years before completion of the screenplay to "Black Swan" to talk to her about the project. In it he had found his occupation of the main role of the ambitious ballerina Nina Sayers. Natalie Portman began - based on her dance training in his youth - 10 months before the shooting started again with the dance training. It should be read in virtually any setting of the film, and provides an impressive performance from.

"Black Swan" is not a dance film. Who wants to watch a dance movie from the world of ballet, which was to " Pina " by Wim Wenders reserve, on 21 February 2011 to celebrate its premiere in Germany in the Lichtenburg is.
