Movie Review of Black Swan
Wendy Webb and Dense Morris talk about Black Swan. Darren Aronofsky's film stars Natalie Portman as Nina Sayers, a dedicated but awkward ballerina who wins the lead in a "new version" of Swan Lake, but on the condition that she play a hybrid of the black swan and white swan. Described as a psycho-thriller for the anxious psychosis that plagues Nina, the Movie Moles deal with the militancy of ballet and the ambiguity of feminine desire.
