"What a twist . . ." Swift Shot: All I knew about this film was that it complements "The Social Network" - but really Facebook is only a device to get the story started and ultimately digitally unravelled.

The Company’s aging star (Winona Ryder) is being pushed into retirement, and the director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) has just cast her in the lead for his production of “Swan Lake”. It’s everything that Nina has … [Read more...] about Black Swan
