Requiem for a Dream (2000): The drug-induced utopias of four Coney Island individuals are shattered when their addictions become stronger. (8.5)
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Writers: Hubert Selby Jr. (book/screenplay, Darren Aronofsky (screenplay)
Stars: Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly and Marlon Wayans
Each character's dream is being murdered systematically by the drugs as we watch. The situation increasingly becoming more and more disturbed yet one does not wanting to look away. A wonderfully filmed, directed and put-together as a final "cut" movie. The requiem, for me, is the symphony of the action of drug abuse. A well thought-out and nice quick-cut sequence that captures the essence of storyline. Talking about it is just not sufficient; you must see this movie! My Rating: 8.0
