17. Requiem for a Dream
Aronofsky takes us through an excursion of serial addiction, unsettling and gruesome, that leads to an unforgiving experiment. Ellyn Burstyn and Jenniffer Connely are just wonderful in this movie, and Marlon Wayons is such a surprise in a serious role. With such powerful and naked exposure to the world of addiction, this leaves a scar that heals with caution. A must watch and a must leave-it-alone.
