The film focuses on a quartet of doomed souls, but it's Ellen Burstyn--in a raw and bravely triumphant performance--who most desperately embodies the downward spiral of drug abuse. As lonely widow Sara Goldfarb, she invests all of her dreams in an absurd self-help TV game show, jolting her bloodstream with diet pills and coffee while her son Harry (Jared Leto) shoots heroin with his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans) and slumming girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly). They're careening toward madness at varying speeds, and Aronofsky tracks this gloomy process by endlessly repeating the imagery of their deadly routines. Tormented by her dietary regime, Sara even imagines a carnivorous refrigerator in one of the film's most memorable scenes. And yet... does any of this have a point? Is Aronofsky telling us anything that any sane person doesn't already know? Requiem for a Dream is a noteworthy film, but watching it twice would qualify as masochistic behavior. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Requiem for a Dream - Director's Cut
A Brilliant Tour Of Hell There are few words to say about a film as brilliant and heart breaking as Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem For a Dream". A cautionary tale of drug addiction and abuse, here, caught on a genius use of film, is also a story of the destruction of hope and how terribly horrific hope can actually be. Blowing his debut "Pi" straight out of the water, Darren Aronofsky has created probably the most brilliant piece of film to come around in such a long time. For "Requiem For a Dream", hell has never looked so god-forsaken and beautiful at the same time.
Be! Excited! Be-Be Excited!
This Is a fantastic movie that freaked the MPAA out when it hit theatres in 2000. It was originally rated NC-17, and We still dunno wether it's R- rated of NC-17! Though I saw the R rated one, I still liked it.

Requiem for a dream is about four different people who's lives go through hell just to be happy at the end but thats how I see it and maybe you will too. The first Character Harry wants to sell drugs for a living but of course selling drugs in New York City is not easy because everybody sells Here.The Second character is Marion Harry's Girlfriend will do anything for drugs even sleep with other men to get it.The third character is Tyrone who's Harry's Best Friend and helps harry sell drugs but things don't look good for him when he gets arrested.Then their's the last character with the strongest Proformance in the movie Harry's mother who loves her son as much as TV she always wanted to be on it and finally gets her chance but she also wants to look good on tv so she goes to the doctor to see how can she lose weight and he gives her pills to do that but the problem is she starts to get addictive to it.The end of the film you'll have to see for yourself and sometimes it is kind of boring but thats just a very small portion but other wise then that it's a must see so buy it now.
