Nina Sayers got the lead role in Tchaikovsky’s “Swan Lake”. This makes her the star of her New York bal­let com­pa­ny, fame at last after years of back-brea­king work. She will play the white and black swan at the same time, but her com­pe­ti­tor Lily is hot on her heels. Nina fights for her sani­ty; the young ballerina’s psy­che is a frigh­ten­in­gly accu­ra­te fit for her lea­ding role as the two-faced, beau­tiful, and dan­ge­rous Swan Queen. Natalie Portman dances with the audi­ence and for her life in Darren Aronofsky’s bal­let drama.
