BLACK SWAN (2010)

Certification12 Our Rating

A ballet dancer wins the lead in "Swan Lake" and is perfect for the role of the delicate White Swan, Princess Odette, but slowly loses her mind as she strives to subsume, at the behest of the director, the personality of the Black Swan, Odile.

Audiences have been divided over the degree of success he achieve find out more...

CAT PEOPLE (1982)

Certification18 Our Rating

A remarkable remake of the 1942 classic. Kinski is electric as the virgin sex-kitten/femme fatale who develops serious claws when sexually aroused and is caught between her racial duty to mate with her cat person brother and her more normal desire for a local zoo-keeper. Seductively exotic erotica. Brilliant. find out more...
