disturbingly fantastic.

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2003)

I remember watching this movie for the first time. It was on cable. I was very sorry not to have caught it on the movie screen. I was with my younger sister and her boyfriend. We were just chatting and playing, and the movie for the first 10-15 minutes just played in the background. Then, suddenly we were riveted. Usually, the term edge of your seat, is saved for thrillers, but we were, all three of us at the edge of our seats. No talking allowed, no whispers, we all formed these self preserved bubbles around us, and we watched, amazingly and totally spell bound.
Movies like Requiem, are special, because they remind you of the power of film. They are what all films should be, and what few films rarely achieve. I remember clearly the conversation after the movie ended. It was amazing, we were on a high. The film itself was a drug... and I can't wait till the director's next film comes out, cause I need a fix of that genius.
