Black Swan
Rating: 15
Duration: 108 minutes
Cast: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis
Intense psychological melodrama, Black Swan (2010) is a nail-biting exploration of artistic obsession and the destructive pursuit of perfection, as a ballerina's quest for the lead role in 'Swan Lake' pushes her to the brink of a psychological breakdown. The film's tense rivalry and complex sapphic relationship between Nina (Natalie Portman) and Lily (Mila Kunis) make it a modern masterpiece.
