Black Swan has been popular in the 67th Venice International Film Festival.
Definitely a dark movie in my mind though, it a nice movie story.
Synopsis:
Black Swan follows the story of Nina, a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is a completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre for the opening production of their new season. Swan Lake. Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competitions a new dancer. Lily, who impressed Leroy as well.. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace and the Black Swan, sho represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into twisted friendship . Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side – a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.
Release Date: 3 December 2010 (USA)

This will probably also end up as my movie of the year. I was totally captivated by it, everything just felt perfect and I liked the small use of elements that reminded me of horror movies. Stunning performance by Portman and definitely a must see for everyone.

“Black swan” is certainly not for everybody’s taste: people may find it too strong or even too slow, but if you are a film lover, like me, I am sure you’ll appreciate its technique and love Natalie Portman’s performance. She truly deserves an Oscar
