Dark, Disturbing, Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2006)

First i have to say, This film is not for any one can't handle anything involving drugs or strong scenes of sex.
This film is the greatest film about drugs since TRAINSPOTTING. But don't get me wrong these two films are nothing alike.Darren Aronofsky brings to life Hubert Selby Jr's novel like no other director could, Fastpaced, great dialouge, trippy music, great acting (especially from Ellen Burstryn).
The film tells about 4 people trapped in the horrors of addiction. The beginning starts off somewhat happy, but the more you watch the darker and more disturbing this film gets. As the characters fall into their own personal oblivion they refuse to let go of their dream.
This film should be shown to all high school kids. Even if their parents don't want them to see it. This will stop them from any future drug use.
