Perfect Film

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2004)

Pi was great, but Requiem is better. Besides the rough subject manner, I find the second directorial project of Darren Aronofsky to be incredible. Every
aspect of the film is great. The story is beautifully adapted from the Hubert Shelby book. Shelby even has a cameo as a prison guard at the end of the
movie. I personally think that Matthew Libatique is one of the hottest
cinematographers around. I liked the shooting so much that I went and saw all his other movies. The editing by Jay Rabinowirz is crisp. The haunting score by Clint Mansell is sad and creepy, which really makes the movie that much
better.
I cannot say more about it. Simply a top three movie in my book, and I have
seen hundreds of movies. Any movie that sticks to your inner soul and affects your thoughts from day to day is special. This movie redirected my personal
artistic ambitions away from graphic arts and towards cinema.
This IS a very special movie that will affect the way you view your everyday life.
