Requiem for a Dream (2000)
description written by member Zara:
No middle ground here; you'll either love or hate Requiem for a Dream. Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly and Marlon Wayans are best friends and amateur drug dealers looking for a big score.

Based around four characters, Requiem for a Dream is one of the finest films ever made. The score by Clint Mansell still...

Darren Aronofsky is one of my favorite film makers. Pi was fantastic and Reqiem was definitely a force. Though not a very uplifting story, the movie makes you struggle with the question of who suffers the worst. 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...
