recently in Italian cinemas, Black Swan appeared for the first time in the United States in 2010, directed by Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream see ). Black Swan is one of those movies that creeps into your mind and takes you down the street on the way back from the cinema. You take it back like a train that is naughty entangled with each step on manhole covers. You wonder why you can still have before me a classical dancer pirouette that dramatically
upon himself. All black. Let's start from here, from black. Black is a Dionysian swan, the swan feels upon himself all exhausting the strength of the passions. Black is the swan that lets you take the greatest enthusiasm or the most devastating despair, knows no shades, so it is black. Receives only the intensity on his skin. The swan is white instead of the pretty bird feathers from the graceful and well-combed, order the space around him and you let yourself be massaged by refinement of the lake. White Swan Black Swan and be living in the same, like two sides of one coin, dark and light. This is in fact the intention of the director of the New York City Ballet Company
, played by Vincent Cassel, who wants to restore glory to his theater revisiting the famous Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky. In search of swan dancing to withstand the tension and exhibit none of passion and reason Cassel addressed his interest in the candid and almost virgin Natalie Portman, Nina said. The dancer, with an exceptional talent and rigorous study of dance, but fails to be invested by forzeirrazionali the black swan, but it feels close. For a while, it loses the pretty light and with an act of controlled violence attacks the nervous because the director can not take the role. Start to leave the force. So Nina is chosen interpreter of the white swan and the black one. The pretty young leaves become ever more deeply from the dark forces of raven feathers and play his role to clear the barriers that separate the potentially unreal.
Start the loss of the limit of the self, the psychosis begins (so called). Start the folly of those who are open to life, someone who can not be but vivendosi to the extreme. Although the risk of falling into the abyss below, the man who suffers suffers to live, love life and acceptance even in its largest death drive but at the same time pleasure. Hallucinations, physical violence, masturbation. Nina is unable to separate what lives within him and what he is experiencing as a black swan. His life has no boundaries that protect the art from the blaze. Feels for the first time this sublime power, the dancer goes to visit the darkest places that challenge within itself.
Raid absence of meaning, the breaking of imperfection. Imperfection that lies in the technical perfection that lives in the error of getting involved to perdition. Complete fusion between art and life. Fusion that sometimes can be perceived also in film. In fact, sometimes one gets the impression of an opera within the opera. The music is exceptional, and photography by Matthew Libatique come to gather the most shaky nervous excitement. The Black Swan shoots off the screen spinning as an irresponsible animal passion. We would like stun and confuse. Who knows. The final film is a dizzying crescendo that pulls the skin, narrows his eyes and down his stomach. Even the audience begins to lose the barriers that separate him from his sediolina red. Begins to pirouette pirouette pirouette louder and louder, until the leap of faith that draws him. The black swan is there. Black died. Vive.
