Black Swan

Black Swan

Artistic director Thomas Leroy presides over his ballet company at New York's Lincoln Center, all too aware that his productions have lost their edge. So he very publicly terminates the services of prima ballerina Beth Macintyre and chooses Nina Sayers as her replacement to take the lead in an erotically-charged new staging of the classic Swan Lake. Nina is a technically gifted dancer but she struggles to express her emotions on stage, which causes friction with Thomas.
