The heir of transpoitting

Rating: 7/10 (6 April 2006)

In the same line as "transpoitting", requiem for a dream brings us a story of different lives absurdly spend by the influence of drugs. At first we meet the characters: three friends that, as they had nothing more to do, they take drugs to forget how bad is their life. Meanwhile, we know the mother of one of them, who lives alone and has no More company than TV and auto-help preachers. We can see how they fell in the depht of addiction, how things seem good at first and, of course, then, the cruel reality of being addicted. With very good playing, it is the real than the actors seem, the greatest point of the film. A very good and touching story, full of feelings and moments of cruel and unholy reality. Brutal, conscious and explicit, a really good movie about drugs. Unluckily, the idea of the director of filming it like a music clip (rapid changes of camera and lots of turnings of the image, to represent that they are in the influence of drugs), mess a little the result, with a better image directing, it could have been better indeed. Not recommended for weak people.
