Groundbreaking work from the director Darren Aronofsky, introducing the dangerous, disgusting, and sadly the real dark side of the drug addiction, brilliantly capturing the everyday struggles, and what it causes for both the addicts and to their families.
Featuring powerful performances by Ellen Burstyn and Jared Leto, send by sensational score, and altering a deep, heartbreaking tone.
Based on the book by Hubert Selby Jr, it's far beyond the lines, that the book failed to discover, writing is supreme, plot is miraculously correct, realistic and succeeds to achieve its goals.
Despite being a solid drama movie, its building psychological suspense and thrills around the drama and story, making some of the scenes look a bit creepy, gorgeous make-up and strong performances are very helpful in creating unreal atmosphere too, that later makes the movie something we call a Masterpiece.
Requiem for a Dream, it's a beautiful movie experience, but indeed featuring one of the worst scenarios that could happen to human-beings, handful of talent, it's that kind of movie that defines the decade.
Rating: 3/4
