Wow!!!!!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2000)

I have requested filmmakers to make a movie about the loathsome feeling of addiction and finally my dream has come true. That would be in the spectacular new film `Requiem for a Dream.' The film follows four different drug addicts in their downward spiral to substance hell. The breathtaking visuals by director Darren Aronofsky are the best I have seen in film this year. The cast gets very high and I mean very high marks: Ellen Burstyn's name should `pop' up in the best actress oscar nominee list, Jared Leto's formerly mediocre `so-called' acting is now a thing of the past because of his extraordinary performance, Jennifer Connelly not only stimulates us with her beauty but also demonstrates that her acting skills are not of a hallucinogenic nature, and Marlon Wayans shows us in living color that he could also be a pretty good dramatic actor. However, it is director Aronofsky who is the master dream weaver of this film. It would be a downer if he does not get nominated for a best director oscar. Why? You said! Because everything in his film is full of uppers! ***** Excellent
