  • Requiem for a Dream is a 2000 American psychological drama film directed by Darren Aronofsky.

The film depicts four different forms of drug addiction, which lead to the characters' imprisonment in a world of delusion and reckless desperation that is subsequently overtaken by reality, thus leaving them as hollow shells of their former selves.
