REQUIEM FOR A DREAM

Directed by: Darren Aronofsky
Released: 2000

i've seen this movie more times than i can count, and it never, ever ceases to amaze me every single time. in my eyes, everything about this film is absolutely perfect-- the cinematography, the spastic editing, the score (about as perfect as you can get, if you ask me), the acting, the technical aspects, the fact that wayans and leto were forced to abstain from sex and sugar for a month before filming so they'd know what it was like to crave something, the fact that leto dropped 40something lbs. and hung out with NYC junkies for weeks on end to get into his role... oh, and TAPPY TIBBONS, nuff said.. it's a perfect film, as popular and trendy as it may be. as much as i liked "pi," "the fountain," "black swan," and "the wrestler," i don't know if aronofsky will ever top this. 10/10
