Darren Aronofsky follows up his acclaimed debut Pi with this gritty, emotionally charged film set amidst the abandoned beaches and faded glory of Coney Island, Brooklyn. Based upon the novel by celebrated author Hubert Selby Jr., the story intricately links the lives of a lonely widowed mother (Academy Award Winner Ellen Burstyn), her son Harry (Jared Leto), his beautiful girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly), and his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans).
Requiem for a Dream is a hypnotic tale of four human beings each pursuing their vision of happiness. Even as everything begins to fall apart, they refuse to let go, plummeting with their dreams into a nightmarish, gut-wrenching freefall.

This is a tragic and touching film of wasted lives through the use of drugs. The decline of the characters as the film progresses is quite hard to witness at times and credit to the actors who are superb throughout. I loved it even though the subject matter is tough and on an educational level it should certainly put people off of taking drugs! The soundtrack is fab too.
this movie charts 4 peoples lives as they slide inexorably into their own personal hell. From summer to winter you will be taken on a journey and you know you're not coming back. The characters all start so full of hopes and dreams that slowly start to fade and crack with the change of seasons.
It's harsh viewing, watching these people fail and fall but you can't stop watching such is the quality of performances here and the strength of the story.
This movie left me stunned into silence by both the visual beauty of the cinematography and the emotional impact of the events portrayed.
A beautifully choreagraphed nightmare
This film takes you on journey through drug addiction and relatable characters trying to strive for a better life. The acting is fantastic, Jared Leto and Ellen Burstyn especially. From the beginning it's sad to watch but well worth seeing and not a film you'll soon forget.
this film is amazing, it tells the story of 4 people all with an addiction, the camera work and the way this film is edited is fantastic and the soundtrack is awesome. dont buy this film if your expecting a fairytale ending though. :)
