À propos de ce film

This gritty emotionally charged film is set amidst the abandoned beaches and faded glory of Coney Island, Brooklyn. Based upon the novel by celebrated author Hubert Selby Jr., the story intricately links the lives of a lonely widowed mother (Academy Award Winner Ellen Burstyn), her son Harry (Jared Leto), his beautiful girlfriend Marion (Jennifer Connelly) and his best friend Tyrone (Marlon Wayans). REQUIEM FOR A DREAM is a hypnotic tale of four human beings each pursuing their vision of happiness. Even as everything begins to fall apart, they refuse to let go, plummeting with their dreams into a nightmarish gut-wrenching freefall.

Notes et avis

A cautionary tale, an ode to the dead of those whose dreams were broken, a look into psyche of the human experience from the other side of the tracks. A dreamlike production that follows a group of people struggling to find their way in the modern world following personal loss which pears into the world of addiction without restraint. Bordering on horror.
