A thrilling role for York in “Black Swan.”
Have you heard any of the buzz surrounding the film Black Swan? It had a limited release December 3 and will have a wide release on December 22, 2010.
It showcases both the dramatic talents of Natalie Portman and the design talents of York Wallcoverings.
Other name stars include Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey and Winona Ryder.
The movie is a psychological thriller, set in the world of New York City ballet, and it parallels the story of the ballet featured in the film, “Swan Lake.”
Natalie Portman stars as Nina, a prima ballerina who is undone by pressure from her ballerina mother and, ultimately, by her own infatuation with her role in “Swan Lake.” As the pressures mounts, Nina starts to lose touch with reality and becomes obsessed with her rival in the company — and is driven to revenge by the spirit of the Black Swan.
In the movie, Nina’s bedroom features a Candice Olson-designed “Butterfly Camo” wallpaper – a big 20.5-inch pattern in shades of pink and white. This elegant, enigmatic design is actually found in Olson’s kids’ collection (436). If you like it as much as we do – or as much as the designers working with “Black Swan” did – ask us to see #CK7655.
We can show you the pattern as it appeared in the film, or in three other color combos – with shades of blue and white; back, gray and white; or pink and gray.
Watch for this movie to make it big – there is already Oscar buzz surrounding it and Portman.
And see us for the wallpaper. It’s pretty thrilling, too.
