A wonderful, perfect, crucial film

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2003)

Requiem is a work of art. Aronofsky has created a dramatic climax so shocking and absorbing that it is hard not to feel overcome by it. This film is excellently cast, with Ellen Bursten producing a masterful show-stealing performance.
The dreams presented in this work are human, imperfect - but totally real. We feel the highs and lows with every character, the director here totally in tune with his audience.
Camera work and visual effects are mindblowing and remind us that film and imagery still have a continued power to shock.
This film is a powerful must. 9/10
