Requiem for a Dream (2000)
description written by member Zara:

It is a sobering film and not one that you immediately forget after you are done watching it, but one that...

I can't tell you whether or not Darren Aronofsky did justice to Hubert Selby Jr. 1978 novel, as I haven't read it, but I would have a hard time believing that Mr. Selby would be anything but elated with Aronofsky's adaptation.
This film deals with addiction in various forms from food, to heroin, to prescription diet pills...

Having the distinction of being one of the most controversial movies ever, Requiem for a Dream is a stunning epic movie about the dangers of drug use, and not just that, but peoples' desires to belong and to ultimately be happy.
First of all, I had no clue what 'Requiem' meant, so I looked it up. Requiem is "a song or...
