[film] Black Swan
Nov. 21st, 2013 05:35 pmThe DVD has been sitting around at home for ages and we finally got round to it on Saturday night.
I think everyone's seen this now, but in case you haven't, it's an actually quite suspenseful psychological thriller about a dancer who melts down after being given the role of the White and Black Swans in Swan Lake.
It's really graphic about the physicality of what dancing does to your feet, and the underlying level of crazy is, I understand, pretty realistic.
Whether or not the lead is nuts to begin with, her mother is an emotionally abusive witch.
The ballet is lovely, though.
I ended up liking this a lot more than I thought I would; I hadn't thought that Jason would find it his thing at all because he doesn't like ballet, but he thoroughly enjoyed it too.
