One blogger is irritated that the Black Swan trailer contains an image of NP kissing Mila Kunis as part of a series of shots apparently designed to illustrate the mental breakdown of Portman's character. I take the larger point about the unfortunate connection between lesbian desire and mental illness in films, but how do we know the shot of the kiss isn't taken out of context in the trailer? It wouldn't be the first time. Black Swan will debut at the Venice Film Festival in a few days and is one of a half-dozen films being considered for an award given to films with gay themes. Since I'm assuming someone at Venice watched Black Swan before letting it into the Festival, there may be more to the kiss than the trailer reveals. (Atlantic/THR)
