The camerawork was spectacular and the music, by Clint Mansell, was breathtaking. Not to mention, Sean Gullette did a fabulous job with his performance and was undoubtedly the sexiest man I have ever seen in the entire world. That's why it was such a shock to see him as his sleazy, balding character in Darren Aronofsky's other wonderful work, Requiem for a Dream. Oh, and if you loved Pi, you have to see Requiem, it's fantastic. Clint Mansell did the soundtrack for this one too, it's even better, if you can believe it. Was this review helpful?

Make the effort - it's worth it.Fair warning...Aronofsky's near-fetishistic repetition of certain images - particularly the almost convulsive pill-popping by Max - will have you paranoiacally searching for patterns as the film progresses. Especially if, like me, you are watching by yourself on DVD with all the lights turned out (recommended). Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-3 of 3 Per Page | ||
