Another vote for best film of 2000

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2001)

Not only is this the best film of 2000, but it is one of my personal all
time favorites. Never before, and I do mean NEVER, have I left the
theatre so shaken......so moved! The performances are flawless,
the direction and editing are assured and appropriate, and the
soundtrack........Let me tell you....the soundtrack is one of the finest
ever recorded for a film. There has been a lot of negative
comparisons to the "MTV-like" quick editing and distorted lense
styles.....but where films like "Charlie's Angels" use these
techniques to be hip and not-too-boring....."Requiem for a Dream"
actually uses them to support the story and the "hell-world" in
which the characters live.
Although this is not a typical "horror" film, it incorporates many
horror genre conventions that viewers will find unsettling and even
terrifying. As a horror movie fanatic it scared me more than any
Hollywood horror film in recent memory.
A definite 10 out of 10!
