Manic Swan
Black Swan (USA, 2010)
dir. Darren Aranofsky
rating: ✶✶✶
A relentless film about an artist's descent into hallucination, self-mutilation, and madness with scenes of bulimia, hysteria, lesbian fantasmes, it is a horrible imposition on the viewer and distortion of the ballet world. I hate this film that bizarrely hijacks a great classic ballet.

Thanks for the warning. Have not seen the film, but have declined two invitations to do so -- purely on the strength of my dislike of the trailer. I think I'll trust my instincts!
Best wishes, Catherine
