So, if you haven't heard of Darren Aronofsky..He's the (in)famous director of movies like Requiem For A Dream and the recent Wrestler movie. His specialty? Messed up movies about messed up people. This new movie deals with competition between two ballerinas vying to impress a director for a role in a Swan Lake production in a big venue.
Thing is, its not as simple as that. The trailer does a good job of showing that this will be an Aronofsky film, with shit getting progressively more messed up as two obsessive ballerinas go to all lengths to get the part.
The most interesting part about the movie is that the classic 'Swan Lake' requires a dancer that can be two roles, the white swan and the black swan. Both personify different characterstics, and are polar opposites..And the two ballerinas in question personify these extremes. We're looking forward to this probably very dark movie. Darren is not afraid to push the envelope far.
