A film that did not like the Italian critics that snubbed him in Venice and defined trivial and obvious. For us a good film on the relationship between body and psyche, between reason and unconscious, between feelings and rationality.

The body as "place of the soul"
Remember the girl "Leon" by Luc Besson? Or Queen Amidala in Star Wars? Natalie Portman has grown and gives us his best performance ever, thanks to director Darren Aronofsky. After the acclaimed "The Wrestler" won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival in Venice in 2008, the American once again explores the body as 'place of the soul'. But what if the body of a wrestler - Mickey Rourke - became a means of rebirth and moral redemption, in this body of the dancer becomes the search for artistic perfection.

Nina (Natalie Portman) he attended a famous school of dance in New York led by choreographer and director Thomas Leroy, Vincent Cassel, the always good. When Leroy will choose to interpret "Swan Lake" by Caikovsky, dismissing the prima ballerina Macyntire Beth - a new-found Winona Ryder -, Nina will have to go all out for the best interpretation of both the part of Odette (the white swan, the incarnation pure love) and the romantic rival Odile (the black swan). Nina excellent in the first role, will begin a process of metamorphosis filled with nightmares and obsessions in order to enter also nell'antitetica figure of the black swan that somehow materializes nell'antagonista Lily - the actress Mila Kunis (small curiosity: it is the voice actress of Meg from "Family Guy") - with which establishes a relationship of competition mixed with a morbid fascination ambiguous.
You might call the dark side of red shoes - the masterpiece of M. Powell (1948) - The representation of evil that lies hidden more in us, a trip to the distortion of the human psyche that forces the protagonist to acts of self harm and to see his ghost pictures in what will prove to be his worst enemy, or herself.
Nominated for five Oscars including Best Picture, Best Cinematography (superb work by Matthew Libatique) and Best Actress (Portman, remember, has deservedly won the Golden Globe for the role), although the exhibition Venice has divided both the public and the critics, "The Black Swan" emotionally involves the viewer in a vortex where anxious not fully comprehend that if what we're seeing is reality or the result of the mind. A sort of horror more cerebral and visionary. A film definitely worth seeing.
phrase: "The only real obstacle to your success is you: freed from yourself. Get lost, Nina."
