Review

Requiem for a Dream is the story of young junkies striving for a better life while fighting hopeless addiction.

Requiem for a Dream is a brilliant exploration into the nature of addiction and groundless hope. This film, shot in a fast-paced MTV style, looks at addiction from a new perspective. The story shows us the different types of addiction and how they can all lead to self-destruction.

This film is depressing and disturbing, but it has a tremendous artistic messages that expresses the dangers of dependence.

Rating (1-10)
