Simply incredible!

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2003)

I hadn't ever heard of this movie when I rented it, but I'm darn glad I did! Darren Aronofsky is as talented as any filmmaker out there today. Do yourself a favor and see this one as soon as possible. The use of the camera is of special import in this movie, and is reminiscent of a cross between Sam Raimis' earlier work and the works of Roman Polanski. Aronofsky has a distinct visual style and a love for weird montage pieces. However, as great as this movie is, if you do not like experimental films that tend to challenge the viewer to make sense of it, rather than a neatly laid out and well explained plot, you more than likely will not enjoy it. On a $60,000 budget, Darren has made a lasting impression on the film world that will not soon be forgotten.
P.S. This movie has some of the greatest voice-over monologues ever! Enjoy!
