Great film

Rating: 7/10 (16 March 2002)

I didn't have any high expectations when I rented this film today (you'll understand why if you read my Pi comment). I was certainly wrong when I expected to be bored by this film. Requiem for a Dream is infinitely better than Aronofsky's earlier movie Pi. Requiem for a Dream is probably the most depressing movie I've seen in years, but it is also fascinating, interesting and quite brilliant. The acting is fantastic and the editing is interesting. The score is also brilliant with its mix of old and new sounds. Great movie! (7/10)
