Requiem for a Dream / Hubert Selby Jr: It Will Be Better Tomorrow (Special Edition)

Film Description

Requiem for a Dream follows the blighted lives of four Coney Islanders desperate to rise above stultified lives, Aronofsky's is one of the most visually exciting films and emotionally honest films about drug dependence. Ellen Burstyn's addled game show contestant is a tour de force. Refused a US ratings certificate, and driven by its textured score, this is an indelible experience. Also features Hubert Selby Jr: It'll Be Better Tomorrow (Michael W. Dean & Kenneth Shiffrin, 2005), an exploration of the life and art of Hubert Selby Jr, the writer of Requiem for a Dream and a self-described 'scream looking for a mouth'. Narrated by Robert Downey Jr.
