Darren Aronofsky’s (Requiem for a Dream, The Wrestler) “Black Swan” is a ballet thriller that follows Nina (Natalie Portman) as she is given the lead role in Swan Lake.

As Nina sinks deeper and deeper into her role as the Black Swan, her life starts to spin out of control.

Aronofsky’s long time sound collaborator, Craig Henighan, (sound designer, supervising sound editor, sound re-recording mixer) discusses the detailed approach for crafting the sound for this cinematic thriller.
