REQUIEM FOR A DREAM (Darren Aronotsky, 2000)



... Maybe this is the best way for me to describe my feelings after watching this touching and painful movie. [...]
Because I am still in shock and I don't think I can find the words to define them and definitly, if I had to express my feelings in just one word, it would be: shock.

Drugs can have very hard consequences so we should be careful. However, there are people who everyday take drugs, maybe because they are absolutely obsessed with them, maybe because they don't know. But finally, the result is always the same: problems, more problems and death; and this movie is a clear example of this.

Illness



Dependence



Madness



Death...
Great use of lights and shadows, wonderful employ of make-up and clothes and excellent editing strategies. In general, great movie but quite hard. Anyway, I recommend you to see it because it will probably leave you without words... And that's fantastic if we talk about cinema.
