Amazing Film

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2000)

I was uncomfortable watching this film, and depressed afterward, but I am very glad I saw it. It is a brilliant work - complete in its vision. The actors were flawless. It was a complete descent on the downward spiral, relentless in its unwillingness to loosen its grip on the viewer. This film guts that side of the human spirit that mostly goes unspoken of in our cookie-cutter culture. Film has the potential to reveal and affect and open us up to more points of view. Requiem has achieved this, utterly.
