Requiem for a Dream
Directed by Darren Aronofsky
102 mins

Open Shelf Films on Fridays offers screenings of influential films. January's films are selected by MCA DENVER’s Teen Council. Employing shock techniques and sound design in a relentless sensory assault, Requiem for a Dream is about nothing less than the systematic destruction of hope; a film that thrusts conventional narrative into a panic zone of traumatized psyches and bodies pushed to the furthest boundaries of chemical tolerance.
