Aronofsky directed from a script by Mark Heyman; the film stars Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey and Winona Ryder.

A psychological thriller set in the world of New York City ballet, Black Swan stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company (Mila Kunis). Black Swan takes a thrilling and at times terrifying journey through the psyche of a young ballerina whose starring role as the duplicitous swan queen turns out to be a part for which she becomes frighteningly perfect.
