Our Take

In the world of ballet, perfection is key. Every pointed toe, every graceful movement must be flawless. So it's no surprise that the original soundtrack for Black Swan, composed by the brilliant Clint Mansell, is nothing short of perfection.

From the haunting opening track, "Nina's Dream," to the pulsating beats of "A Swan is Born," Mansell expertly captures the intensity and beauty of this dark and twisted tale. The use of strings and driving percussion creates a sense of urgency and unease, mirroring the mental and emotional turmoil of our protagonist, Nina.

But it's not all doom and gloom. Tracks like "Perfection" and "The Double" provide moments of lightness and hope, showcasing Mansell's versatility as a composer. The juxtaposition of light and dark throughout the album reflects the duality of Nina's character, as she grapples with the pressures of perfection and the darkness within her.

Overall, the Black Swan score is a masterclass in musical storytelling. Mansell's intricate compositions draw the listener in, weaving a complex and compelling narrative that mirrors the film itself. Whether you're a fan of ballet or just appreciate good music, this soundtrack is sure to leave you spellbound. Perfect for listening to while pirouetting in your living room or just pondering the existential dread of existence. So put on your pointe shoes and let Clint Mansell guide you through the dark and twisted world of Black Swan.
