in agreeance vis a vis 'requiem for a dream'. disappointing. it's like aronofsky knew he had one chance to make a not-very-subtle downbeat film while he was hot and he took it, which is admirable. but the product is a farce. question: is aronofsky directing blame (or at least responsibility) on the individual or on some kind of television/fantasy/ideology? in either case, the material is mis-represented. quite a disaster.
