Black Swan – Certificate 15
A TORTURED New York ballerina explores her dark side as she competes to win the coveted lead role as the Black Swan.
Rivalry behind the scenes is the theme of this sensual and psychological thriller.
With an obsessive former ballerina for a mother, Nina (Natalie Portman) is almost suffocated in her commitment to her own dancing at a ballet company. But when artistic director Leroy (Vincent Cassel) wants a new prima ballerina for an upcoming production of Swan Lake, rivalry raises its ugly head.
Nina finds herself competing with fellow dancer Lily (Mila Kunis) for Leroy’s attentions.
As Nina and Lily form an unusual bond, Nina starts to embrace her dark side - but at what cost?
A brooding drama and an intimate portrait of a woman pushing herself to the limits from the always-intense director Darren Aronofsky.
The Hunts Post has three pairs of tickets to give away to see Black Swan at Cineworld in Huntingdon.
For a chance of winning, just tell us the name of the ballet in which Nina longs to be prima ballerina.
