"Requiem for a Dream" is the story of four lives, each one different from another, but with a common purpose, to achieve a better future success.
Sara is an old widow's home now all alone and made this situation more and more apathetic and alienated from the world. Harry, his son, a young boy is depressed to make it less sad and lonely his life is constantly in search of drugs. To share with him this situation are the girl Maryon and his best friend Tyrone.
The monotony of these four lives a day, however, will change ...
Sarah, contacted by an operator for its possible participation in a television program, found the enthusiasm and happiness lost time. With the hope or even the certainty of having reached a goal for so long imagined Sara decided to attend a medical rather shameful, who will prescribe without the problems of "pills" that only later turns out to be amphetamines. Sara will become dependent on her cause hallucinations paradoxical to delirium pure.
Harry, hoping to give a better life for him and his mother decides to throw himself with Tyrone and Maryon in the drug market. Their adventure will begin, but, due to an unexpected event, will come to a complete failure to coincide with the end of their friendship and love.

The film tells the dark side of America, that part in the famous "American Dream" is not realized. And everything is made wonderfully well. Dominates the total realism . Scene raw. true that as best we can make the lives of many Govan today.
Aronofwsky makes the perfect world of drugs and its effects. The film's characters, making use constantly, bring to light all their weakness before their final self-destruction in a dark, dark, where not leaked even a faint hope of rebirth.
may be natural to compare with the "Trainspotting" (1996) Danny Boyle, but while it might be a little falsotto, the film is considered the most Aronofwsky level across the board.

The director of Aronofwsky is nothing short of spectacular. U.S. director creates shots and sequences, often repeated, memorable, fascinating to the eye and never boring, always loads of pace.
The cast is the bearer of a benefit from praise. On all Ellen Burstyn. In the role of Sarah for the duration of the film makes it perfectly all the moods of the character, spasmodic enthusiasm from sadness, from frustration to pure madness.
Jared Leto (Harry) and Jennifer Connelly (Maryon) take the right step. Marlon Wayans (Tyrone) does not despise.
Soundtrack slow and disturbing perfect for the subject matter and the rhythm of the sequences. Congratulations to Clint Masella.
Photography as superb, especially with regard to the final load very visually.

Requiem for a dream is a real film, which hits, it hurts, it involves the viewer , drags him by force of circumstances in the lives of the protagonists, and despite the increasing crescendo of raw images, you can not fail to look at.

"Requiem for a Dream" ... small masterpiece of a great director too undervalued in a cinema where today the most inept people to be successful.

incisive.
