“...the greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life is capturing Ellen Burstyn’s performance on film.” ––@DarrenAronofsky in 2000 on REQUIEM FOR A DREAM #TIFF20
Adapted from Hubert Selby Jr.’s classic novel, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM is a stylistically arresting film that follows four people as their dreams for a better life descend into a spiral of despair and self-destruction. #TIFF20
REQUIEM FOR A DREAM found its innovative visual style by focusing on the individual characters.
“The camera language is all directed toward subjectivity, so [the language] is born out of that notion.” ––D.O.P. Matthew Libatique #TIFF20
