This film is about a childless lady called
Chaiti, portrayed by Rituparna. She has got everything to fulfill her
materialistic needs, but thanks to her workaholic husband Bikram, she is lonely
to the core. She is a mod who chats her heart out in facebook to beat her all
engulfing loneliness. Down the line she happens to meet Sanjay (Dibyendu) and
gets physically and emotionally involved with him.
Francisco José de Goya Y Lucientes, known as Goya, was
one of the earliest artists to see beneath the façade of rationality and expose
the mind as the seat of irrationality. Active in Spain and employed for much of
his career by the corrupt court of the Spanish king Charles IV, Goya rejected
the light-hearted fantasies of his great predecessor at court Giovanni Battista
Tiepolo. Instead, Goya looked penetratingly at the characters of the decaying
monarchy who employed him, experienced the brutality of Napoleon's forces on
the Spanish people, and distilled from these and other events a view of
humanity as often bestial.
Francisco Goya, considered to be "the Father of Modern Art," began
his painting career just after the late Baroque period. Over the course of his
long career, Goya moved from jolly and lighthearted to deeply pessimistic and
searching in his paintings, drawings, etchings, and frescoes.
Goya was one of the first artists to make human madness a major theme in his
work. Many of Goya's paintings, such as "Saturn Devouring His
Children" (shown here) and etchings depict madness, and even his portraits
often emphasized the neurotic and decadent nature of his subjects.
Goya was born in Fuendetodos, Spain, in the kingdom of Aragón in 1746 to José
Benito de Goya y Franque and Gracia de Lucientes y Salvador. He spent his
childhood in Fuendetodos, where his family lived in a house bearing the family
crest of his mother. His father earned his living as a gilder. About 1749, the
family bought a house in the city of Zaragoza and some years later moved into
it. Goya attended school at Escuelas Pias, where he formed a close friendship
with Martin Zapater, and their correspondence over the years became valuable
material for biographies of Goya. At age 14, he entered apprenticeship with the
painter José Luzán.
GOYA’S FAMOUS BLACK PAINTINGS
Perhaps the best known of the Black Paintings is Saturn Devouring His Son. The image
portrays the Roman god Saturn eating one of his children. Fearing a
prophecy that one of his children would overthrow him, Saturn ate each of his
children upon their birth. Goya depicts this act of cannibalism
with startling savagery. The background is black, while the limbs and head of
Saturn seem to pop out of the shadows. Saturn's eyes are huge and bulging as if
he is mad. His fingers dig into the back of his child, whose head and right arm
are already consumed. Saturn is about to take another bite of the body's left
arm. The only use of color besides flesh-tones is the splash of red blood
covering the mutilated outline of the upper part of the partially eaten, motionless
body, which is chillingly depicted in deathly white.He had a first-hand and
acute awareness of panic, terror, fear and hysteria. He had survived two
near-fatal illnesses, and grew increasingly anxious and impatient in fear of
relapse. The combination of these factors is thought to have led to his
production of 14 works known collectively as the Black Paintings.
Using oil paints and working directly on the walls of his
dining and sitting rooms, Goya created intense, haunting works with dark
themes. The paintings were not commissioned and were not meant to leave his
home; it is likely that the artist never intended the works for public
exhibition: "...these paintings are as close to being hermetically private
as any that have ever been produced in the history of Western art."[ Goya did not title the paintings, or if he did, he
never revealed those titles; most of their names have been provided by art
historians.

NATLIE PORTMAN & MILA KUNIS WHO ACTED LESBIAN ACTS IN ''BLACK SWAN''
ABOUT BLACK SWAN
Black Swan is a 2010 American psychological
thriller and horror film directed
by Darren Aronofsky
and starring Natalie Portman,
Vincent Cassel, and Mila Kunis. Its plot revolves around a
production of Tchaikovsky's
Swan Lake ballet by a prestigious New
York City company. The production requires a ballerina to play both the
innocent White Swan and the sensual Black Swan. One dancer, Nina (Portman), is
a perfect fit for the White Swan, while Lily (Kunis) has a personality that
matches the Black Swan. When the two compete for the parts, Nina finds a dark
side to herself.
Aronofsky conceived the premise by connecting his viewings of a production
of Swan Lake with an unrealized screenplay
about understudies and the notion of being
haunted by a double, similar to the folklore surrounding doppelgängers. Aronofsky cites Fyodor
Dostoyevsky's "The Double"
as another inspiration for the film. The director also considered Black Swan
a companion piece to his 2008 film The Wrestler,
with both films involving demanding performances for different kinds of art. He
and Portman first discussed the project in 2000, and after a brief attachment
to Universal Studios,
Black Swan was produced in New York City in 2009 by Fox Searchlight
Pictures. Portman and Kunis trained in ballet for several months
prior to filming, and notable figures from the ballet world helped with film
production to shape the ballet presentation.
The film premiered as the opening film for the 67th
Venice International Film Festival on September 1, 2010. It had
a limited release in the United States
starting December 3, 2010 and opened nationwide on December 17. Black
Swan received critical praise upon its release, particularly for Portman's
performance and Aronofsky's direction, and was a significant box office
success, grossing $329 million worldwide. Portman won the Academy
Award for Best Actress for the film, as well as many other Best
Actress awards in several guilds and festivals, while Aronofsky was nominated
for Best
Director. In addition, the film itself received a nomination for Best
Picture.
