This, is probably the most cathartic film I’ve ever seen in my whole life…

suzero, you did the movie a great credit! I loved this film, even though it was possibly the most depressing thing I have ever seen. They should show this on TV as some kind of after-school special “warning” for the little ones. Hell, the parents obviously need to see it too!

There are certainly no happy endings here and no glorifying addiction.

I saw this film about a year ago and found it relentless viewing. Particularly loved the Kronos Quartet score. Interesting quote (perhaps) from Aronofsky: ‘This movie isn’t really about drugs, but about love. More importantly, what happens when love goes wrong’.

I just bought the DVD… ’13,95 at Fame in Amsterdam, for those interested in a bargain. I am going to show it to my students during editing lessons!

I saw this one in a movie theater when it was released and it had me blown away for 3 days. It is so intense and emotional.

Years later I watched it on DVD again and it still made me emotional. So it is definitely one of the best movie of the past 10 years.

I didn’t like Pi that much of the same director though…

But what makes Requiem complete is the great soundtrack by the Kronos Quartet. WOW

Impressive movie. If ever people found that drugs were glorified comicly treated in a movie like Trainspotting, this movie should be standard issue for re-hab programs.

What blew me away for the most part was the impressive score of the Kronos Quartet. It is very reminiscent of the ‘ambient’ music that Ennio Morricone made for some movies: harsh, sharp, alienating but always ‘serving’ the image and helping the story.
