best movie of Darren Aronofsky

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2013)

What makes Requiem for a dream so great is the realistic perspective on different drug addictions and drug addicts. Aronofsky was the only director who could make this movie so dark and depressive. Throughout the story movie makes us connect with the characters so we feel exactly what they feel, which can be very traumatizing especially towards the end. The cast of this movie is great, not just because of their acting but they are easy to connect with. The writer of the story Hubert Selby Jr. struggled with depression his whole life so with the help of Aronofsky they wrote the screenplay the best way possible. One of the other great things that cannot go unnoticed is the composer Clint Mansell, whose soundtrack fits perfectly in every scene and makes the ending of this movie absolutely perfect.
