Friends have praised Black Swan as a thrilling and involvoing movie, and we finally saw it. Not involving for either us, but, I think, well-made. It is the traditional story of the ambitious woman who is led into insanity and death in the pursuit of her goals. Although it has sexual exploitation, bulimia and self-mutilation (am I telling you too much?), it isn't about any of those things--only about the dedication to be the best which it turns out is fata at least if you are a woman. Nina, the main character is not sufficiently developed for us to feel drawn to her or involed with her tragedy. The choreography is interesting. Needless to say, lovely music. And there were parts I could not watch.
If you think you will like it , you probably will--not my cup of tea.
