Requiem For A Dream. 2000.
The lives of four people slowly change when the dwell deeper into a drug addiction.
Darren Aronofsky's visual assault on the mind and body of four people who succumb to a drug addiction, Jared Leto and Marlon Wayans (yeah the guy from Scary Movie taking on a serious role) try and score the big deal to make them rich, Jennifer Connelly is a fashion designer and Leto's gal wants to open her own clothing shop and Ellen Burstyn wanting to loose weight and her doctor is handing her pills like smarties.
This has always been a tough film to watch yet you can't look away, the cinematography is amazing even with Connelly walking away after been given a hit and staggering about trying to keep up with her barings of being high yet trying not to show it. It does show the lengths people would go through just to get money for a fix from small time dealers to those have the big deals and the not so happy ending of a addiction. Creative writing, direction and performances from all is what that makes this movie memorable.
