A psychological thriller set in the world of the 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).
A Fox Searchlight Pictures release by visionary director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream and The Wrestler), 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.
The film has opened to rave reviews and Portman has already won a Golden Globe for her mesmerising performance, so the stage is set for more plaudits with 12 BAFTA nominations and the Oscars on the horizon.
The score for Black Swan is composed by long-time Aronofsky collaborator Clint Mansell. Mansell has based the original score around a re-imagination of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and, as his previous work testifies, it brings some of the most beautiful and haunting elements to the film.
We licensed Fox Searchlight our version of Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky for the trailer, a track from West One Music’s expansive collection of classical tracks.
