Requiem for a Dream

A chronicle of the slow spiraling descent into the dark well of addiction. The reasons to look into the well may differ but in its depth there is only ugliness. It is a wonder that the actors (Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly) walked away from the film in one piece. The atmosphere created by Kronos Quartet adds to this deadly, spin chilling and scary phantasmagoria.
