I've actually seen way too many "Black Swan" posts around the blogs lately and because of that I wasn't planning on doing one myself, but after I just found these stunning LA Times magazine images I couldn't resist after all. I'm sure everyone has seen "Black Swan" by now though, but just in case you haven't: check out the trailer below and try to go and see the film asap! Mila obviously has far less screen time in this film than Oscar nominated Natalie Portman, but she definitely made an equally big impression on me.
Here's the official synopsis:
Black Swan follows the story of Nina, a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica, who zealously supports her daughter's professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily, who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.
