The Oscar & Ellen Bursrtyn

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2001)

In a living nightmare, Sara hides in a room and speaking to herself "this is not happening" her son takes her tv to score. Harry's mom gets a call to be in a tv show, she obsesses over the idea reminiscing over a happy past, the peak-a red dress in her closet, determined to fit into it a Dr. prescribes diet pills and she falls into the eye of the storm. Like in all economies, the black market is unpredictable, when the street supply is low the cost is higher. Harry gets his g/f Marion to ask an old flame for $ and he takes her. Harry unable to score drives south. Marion unable to cope, calls a pusher who gives only to girls. Sara is a wreck and a Hospital takes her. Harry lands in the slammer with an infected arm when he seeks help, and in the eye of the storm when all innocence is raped away by the addicting plague on the streets, you are the nightmare. Mr. Aronofsky takes you to the eye of the storm and perpetually stabs you in the heart forever, the New Beverly Cinema crowd sobbed and tears fell on blouses and men wiped their faces while it was still dark and applauding the users re-evaluated life getting a glimpse of the future.
