Natalie Portman Black Swan Controversy


The Daily Mail is reporting today that Natalie Portman's father has issues with her latest film Black Swan. The films 'graphic' lesbian sex scene with actress Mila Kunis has apparently caused the problem and he feels that by engaging in such things she is degrading herself.

Since the source is the Daily Mail I'll treat the news with the usual level of cynicism reserved for that paper however I think any parent would be uncomfortable watching their child naked on screen simulating sex.

There is a big difference between porn and art. Without having seen the film I don't yet have an informed opinion however judging from the trailers and press reviews it hardly seems like an exploitative movie but rather a probing and intelligent thriller.

At least she's willing to engage in difficult material and isn't starring in a series of forgettable romantic comedies like her peers ( hello Jennifer Anistion !).
