I have to see..



This looks amazing. Swan Lake is a must see ballet for me after reading the story when I was little. I've always loved the idea of the principal dancer having to multi-role between the  gentle Odette (white swan) and the more fiery Odile (black swan) as normally a principal ballerina will only take on one role in other ballets. Also, ballet is seen as a very delicate, timid  form of dance and many who have never studied it can seem to sit back and see it as a bit 'airy fairy' and feeble. This film looks to show the very opposite, which is why I'm itching to see it. Also, I much prefer films that play with your mind as opposed to explicit gore.
