Twisted, Great

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2004)

You don't need to take acid and listen to Pink Floyd while watching this movie to feel extremely trippy. Allow me to be frank, this movie is one of the most f*cked up movie I have seen; and it it awesome. It comes up there with A Clockwork Orange and similar titles. David Arronofsky is a genius (and probably a little insane, like most geniuses). His use of quick cuts, upper shots, split screen, and time motion are absolutely awesome. That's what attracted me to this movie in the first place, stumbling upon it on the IFC, I realized that it looked like a masterpiece and so I did what any film critic would: I turned it off. I knew I could not watch it from the middle and love as much. So I went out and rented it and watched it from the very beginning to the very end and it was absolutely amazing. The repetitive violin music is chilling and stays with you for days. The plot is somewhat loose, still great, and the way the three stories are intertwined is amazing. It's pretty much the story of four different people and how they go through four different and personal hells and end up f*cked over in the end. Amazing piece on society, drugs, and something that will stick with me until death.
