Haunting. Powerful. Disturbing.

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 2012)

Disturbingly powerful. The name "Darren Aronofsky" should be the definition of impeccable originality. The man knows how to translate a redundant, overused idea into an audio-visual epic. I'm sure you've seen many movies on drug abuse and how dangerous it is, but never like Requiem for a Dream. The movie takes you down into the lives of four differently motivated drug addicts, showing their experiences through their own eyes so that you would feel every moment of ecstasy and every pang of pain. Ellen Burstyn gave one of the BEST performances I've ever seen in my entire life! And Clint Mansell, as usual, breathed life into the movie with that dramatically unforgettable musical score.
