PRAT’s Movie NightHi everyone, Don’t forget to mark Tuesday November 1st (day after Hallowe’en) in your calendars for the Psychiatry Interest Group (PIG) Movie Night!! Prior to and after the movie, we’ll discuss a career in psychiatry with residents and psychiatry staff and also discuss different themes from the movie from a psychiatric perspective. What: We will be watching Academy Award nominated film, BLACK SWAN, starring Natalie Portman (won an Oscar for this role), Mila Kunis, and Vincent Cassel. It is about “a ballet dancer who 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 becomes more and more like Odile, the Black Swan.”
