About this Event

In collaboration with the BFI's nationwide "Too Much: Melodrama on Film" season, Theatreship and Abi Asisa’s Sapphic Cinema presents a series of nights dedicated to getting swept away by the power of emotion on the big screen. Our season, "Never Too Much," champions the genre's unapologetic intensity, celebrating its enduring influence and emotional depth. 

This event is dedicated to highlighting FLINTA (femme, lesbian, intersex, nonbinary, trans, asexual) stories within queer cinema.

Black Swan

Rating: 15
Duration: 108 minutes
Cast: Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis

Intense psychological melodrama, Black Swan (2010) is a nail-biting exploration of artistic obsession and the destructive pursuit of perfection, as a ballerina's quest for the lead role in 'Swan Lake' pushes her to the brink of a psychological breakdown. The film's tense rivalry and complex sapphic relationship between Nina (Natalie Portman) and Lily (Mila Kunis) make it a modern masterpiece.
