   • Black Swan doesn’t retell the Swan Lake story so much as subvert its ideas. In the ballet, Odile appears disguised as the innocent Odette. In Aronofsky’s movie, the transformation is apparently reversed: Nina must persuade others she has what it takes to be the black swan.

   What is Black Swan about?

   • Black Swan reveals the corporeal and affective nature of this binding together; the body’s deformations are expressions of the subjugations under which our subjectivities are currently placed.
