Gets better and better every time

Rating: 10/10 (20 August 2014)

Excellent movie and it gets better every time I see it again. Basically it is a desperate description of drug use in the modern American big city. On the other hand, the movie paints a meticulous depiction of a couple of people striving for happiness, satisfaction and a better, more fulfilling life. Especially Jared Letos work is stunning although other main characters perform excellently as well. One might find the movie very depressing and sad but that might be the aim of Aronofsky the director to get that kind of mood in his masterwork. World is full of happy and cheery movies so there is always a room for a bit depressing ones, too?
