Requiem for a Dream

We watched Requiem for a Dream yesterday night. I have not quite recovered from it yet.


It is basically the story of four people who all have dreams, ambitions, etc... and who all get into drugs hoping for a better life soon.

A really good movie, excellent photography and shooting and I am really glad I watched it and I recommend the experience to anybody but I am not sure I want to watch it again. At least not in the near future.

There is a very good use of close-ups, and speed: slow motion vs accelerated shots. And the grand finale is extremely disturbing and upsetting and breathtaking...
