Natalie Portman’s latest work can be seen in Darren Aronofsky’s film, “Black Swan”, where she sheds her good-girl image and takes on the most provocative role of her 20-year acting career to date. Says director Aronofsky, “The only way to be perfect, is to allow chaos and madness into your life. Natalie has very few opportunities to express the dangerous side of her, and there’s a lot of colors there. She teases; she’s playful and sexy and so beautiful it hurts.”— on Natalie Portman’s portrayal of Nina in Black Swan. This January, she graces the cover of Vogue and talks about her role.
Portman plays Nina, a young virginal anorexic ballerina in the Aronofsky’s gory ballet tale, Black Swan. Says Vogue writer Joan Juliet Buck, “Portman’s performance is a tour de force that takes the audience inside Nina, keeps you with her as she transgresses taboos, and makes you participate, for a few thrilling moments when Nina becomes the swan, in the kind of transcendent self-loss that only artists know.
