Directed by Darren Aronofsky

A committed dancer struggles to maintain her sanity after winning the lead role in a production of Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake."

Why it matters

Darren Aronofsky's psychological horror about a ballerina's descent into madness while preparing for Swan Lake. Nina's technical perfection is her strength, but her inability to access the reckless, impulsive side of the role becomes a literal haunting.
