They face a drug-induced decay. Review: A complete masterpiece - This is one hell of a bleak film, but as long as you can watch it (some people I know couldn’t sit through it), it is an absolute masterpiece. It’s an adaption of a book by Hubert Selby Jr. about the various addictions of four people (an elderly widow, her son, his girlfriend and his best friend) , be they to drugs, television, or even the hope of a better tomorrow, in Brooklyn, New York. So far, so Trainspotting you might think. However, the two films are actually very different, not least in terms of visual style. In this aspect, Requiem For A Dream is streets ahead of it’s British counterpart. The director Darren Aronofsky, a native of Brooklyn himself, has done a first class job here, using a variety of different techniques, including split screens, time lapse photography and speeded up montages. In the commentary on the DVD, he said he wanted to avoid making an MTV-style film, but that’s what it looks like. This is by no means a criticism, though, the film looks absolutely fantastic, but I see no sense in denying its style. As well as the superb cinematography, the film also contains some superb performances from its four stars Jared Leto, Ellen Burstyn, Jennifer Connolly and Marlon Wayans. Indeed, Burstyn was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar, though she didn’t win. It is also nice to see Leto in a role where he has more to do than look handsome. This film is not one to watch when you are feeling a bit down, as it is not in the least bit cheery. I promise it will make you feel worse, as it is heartbreakingly sad to see the lives of the protagonists completely unravelling before their eyes, whilst they keep believing things are soon going to get better. Things don’t get better, they reach rock bottom for all of the characters. No redemption, no happy ending, just one of the best films of the last ten years. Absolutely essential. Review: A truly exceptional film - If I were you, I wouldn't read too much into the anti-drugs message. It sounds strange, but if you try too hard to find the message behind the film, you will miss the true impact, which lies not as an implicit "drugs are dangerous" ploy, but as the emotional reactions of the main characters as the find themselves in worse and worse scenarios. The film delivers no real clean-cut message, but simply tells the stories of the four characters, and is far more memorable for it. The performances from the leads are absolutely exceptional. Jared Leto suited the role down to the details, Jennifer Connelly was utterly believable in the conversion from sweetheart to whore; their relationship is never less than completely authentic and very emotional. The best performance, however, came from Ellen Burstyn, as the mother addicted to game shows and dieting. A phenomenal speech about her dieting to her son while on pills containing amphetamines shows just how convincing she is, as she manages to convey despondency, grief and hope, all with a frenetic twist to make the scene incredibly hard-hitting. The actors have a brilliant script to work with, the film is brilliantly directed by Aronofsky, and the stylised filmsing is inventive without ever seeming crass or distasteful. Not many directors could handle a fridge coming to life without making it seem laughably improbable. The storyline itself, however, is where the film gains its heart - and its true impact - from. It is flawless, and the climax of the film shows with sickening vivdness the four characters' dreams collapse once and for all; the electroconvulsive treatment, the bloody ampuation, the racial abuse/withdrawal symptons and the graphic sex all come together to give a heart- and stomach-rending finale to the film. The film is exceptional in almost all aspects, and contains some of the best acting I have seen in a long time. The score has become famous, and rightly so. This film cannot fail to move you deeply, as you see the plight of the characters in vivd detail. The DVD is OK, with enough special features, but it doesn't honestly matter when the film is so very powerful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005Q4CS | | Actors | Burstyn, Connelly, Leto, Wayans | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 1.85:1 | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (3,516) | | Dubbed: | French, Spanish | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | LGT11815DVD | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo), Unqualified | | Media Format | Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Colour, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 1.78 x 19.05 x 13.72 cm; 58.97 g | | Release date | 18 Dec. 2001 | | Run time | 1 hour and 42 minutes | | Studio | Artisan Entertainment | | Subtitles: | English, Spanish | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Burstyn, Connelly, Leto, Wayans - **Format:** Anamorphic, Closed-captioned, Colour, Multiple Formats, NTSC - **Genre:** action_&_adventure - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 42 minutes ## Images ![Requiem for a Dream [DVD] [Region 1] [NTSC] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51GaZiyP6FL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A complete masterpiece *by "***" on 28 June 2003* This is one hell of a bleak film, but as long as you can watch it (some people I know couldn’t sit through it), it is an absolute masterpiece.

Geschichten und Szenen wie die hier gezeigten, geschehen tausendfach und sind insofern sehr real. Der Film ist sensibel inszeniert und rüttelt auf. Es lohnt sicherlich, ihn gesehen zu haben. ## Frequently Bought Together - Requiem for a Dream (Director's Cut) - Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind - The Truman Show --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/111247985-requiem-for-a-dream-dvd-region-1-ntsc](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/111247985-requiem-for-a-dream-dvd-region-1-ntsc) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
