Black Swan* (15)
Electric Palace, Harwich

A young ballerina is cast in the role of Swan Queen in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, which threatens to destroy her.
Intense and at times ludicrous ballet melodrama with perhaps unnecessary supernatural elements, almost totally seen from the perspective of its main character, so that it lacks focus.

d: Darren Aronofsky
s: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey, Winona Ryder, Benjamin Millepied
