For those of you unwilling to take the word of Nancy Reagan and Mr. T, a demonstration of the full breadth of addiction’s woes may be what’s needed to keep your seat on the wagon. Thankfully, there are plenty of movies to choose from, one of the most prominent being Requiem for a Dream, a 2000 drama directed by Darren Aronofsky and based on the book of the same name by Hubert Selby Jr. This deeply unpleasant portrait of four lives crumbling is well known and well liked for its powerful performances and manic cinematography, but are its filthy, sweaty charms enough to dazzle Magellans at the Movies?
