About this product

Product Information

For his follow-up to his darkly brilliant debut, PI, director Darren Aronofsky chose to adapt a tough and meaty piece of work: Hubert Selby's 1968 novel REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, a dark spiral into the abyss of barren fantasies doomed to extinction. However, in Aronofsky's frenetic, visionary, unique, and disturbing style lies the perfect setting for this story of four people whose intertwined lives are filled with eternally hopeful despair. This is a different sort of horror film. Harry Goldfarb (Jared Leto) and Marion Silver (Jennifer Connelly) are lovers in Brooklyn with dreams of setting up a small business and spending the rest of their lives in love--their version of the American dream. The two are also desperate heroin addicts, a compulsion that darkens their lives and leads Harry to repeatedly pawn his mother's television. His mother, Sara Goldfarb (Ellen Burstyn), is addicted to television, which is why she keeps replacing the stolen set. One day she receives a call from her favorite show, the surreal TAPPY TIBBONS SHOW, and learns that she has been selected to appear on an upcoming broadcast. When she can't fit into her best red dress, her doctor prescribes diet pills (uppers), to which she swiftly and painfully becomes addicted. Harry's cohort, an intelligent hustler named Tyrone (Marlon Wayans), completes the foursome. With its unflinching dissection of addiction, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM is a psychologically disturbing, visually captivating depiction of lost hope. The last half hour of the film is among the most harrowing of any film ever made.

The tote arrived safely and in advertised condition. I'm thrilled to have it. I had one identical to it years ago. Mine wore out over the years. Until this one, I've only ever seen one other for sale. I'm glad to have it back. Thanks to the seller.

    A modern day version of Romeo and Juliet.

    The only other Aronofsky film I have seen is Pi. The director continues to act like a surgeon and opens up American culture for inspection. We're all in there somewhere. A better description, you ask, "And the children are all insane". Give it a view. By Coffee.

    drug abuse dramatized

    Though the consequences of drug use by all 4 characters in Requiem for a Dream are horrific and horrifying, the movie still infuses the drug culture with a glamour and an excitement it doesn't deserve. Drug abuse is a sordid, rather stupid affair with behaviors that are vacant of any excitement or any drama. There is a lot of idle sitting, staring at the TV, maybe some pacing, plenty of nodding off or looking transfixed though the window blinds, paranoid. In the sweaty, nervous pursuit of the money necessary to buy the drugs; there is some action, most of it either petty crimes of theft or lying to extract loans from friends and relatives. In Requiem there is the glamorous high finance of drug dealing and beautiful people engaged in quirky, stylish self-immolation. There is the loss of ...

  • Awesomely DISTURBING movie

    Requiem for a Dream is a disturbing movie all the way through. If drug use and what becomes of those who allow it to control their lives bothers you...probably a bad idea to see this film. The simplicity of the characters and the unraveling of the script is exteremly effective. To me, if I had ever had a notion to become a junky...this would have stopped me in my tracks. The story is actually two stories in one. Harry's mother is obsessed with becoming thin as she really believes that a typical "telemarketer" type call will lead her to fame on a tv show. She is insistant on wearing a red dress from before her husband died that she longer fits into. After going to a doctor who didn't seem to really even know she was even in the room or at least didn't care...he hands over pills for her to ...

  • Dark and profoundly disturbing...

    This is a remarkably dark, depressing, and profoundly unsettling film. 4 idealistic friends go into drug dealing in hopes of making $$ and getting a better high. They begin the movie with all manner of opportunities - healthy, young, strong, intelligent. Sinking deeper into an abyss of moral and physical decay, the movie shows what must be the worst possible scenario of their lives. Drug dealing, gangs, betrayal, imprisonment, prostitution, amputation...the most disgusting and revolting, and at the same time captivating story. I never needed any of those talks at school about avoiding drugs after seeing this film. Parents: make your teens watch this movie. Save your breath. No lectures needed. Schools could replace entire anti-drug programs simply by showing this movie. Check ...

  • Loved it, but...

    LOVED the visuals. Loved it. I felt like I was actually watching a piece of art transforming before my eyes. Very, very disturbing images, as the other reviewers said, but captivating at the same time. I really got lost in this movie and felt like I was sinking into their world. When a movie can do that to me, it's done it's job as far as I'm concerned. Well done. Would definitely recommend this movie. *Warning-Possible Spoilers* I would have rated it excellent except for the ending, which, although nicely "visually" wrapped up with all of them in the fetal position, I felt I needed more closure. Usually you can watch a movie and even though they don't show you the happy or tragic ending, your imagination takes you there, but with this one, I ...
