one of the greatest and most disturbing films ever

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2000)

I have never seen a film that affected me so much. I loved the movie Pi, but this is a major step up for Aronofsky. This film had everything you could hope for in a classic, beautiful photography, great acting, and music that is just as memorable as the film. I could not sleep the night after I saw it. I am glad that Artisan did not try to get this movie rated, otherwise, a crucial scene would have probably been changed dramatically to get an R rating. Aronofsky does not hold back in this film, almost to the point where it is hard to take it. A must see.
