At the Movies.
Requiem for a Dream: I saw this a few weeks ago. This isn’t a lot I can say about the film that will not give too much away. All the performers were at the top of their game in this film. The portrayal of drug abuse also seems to be spot on. The one quality this film seems to be totally devoid of it “hope”. There is not a shred of hope anywhere in this film. The ending left me feeling shocked and sad for the characters. Also I can not write about this film without mentioning that I felt the odd way in which it was shot really added to the realness of film. It added a layer of authenticity that you don’t get in every movie.
Over all I would say it was a good film and I would recommend it to anyone.
