Film Requiem for a Dream (2000) karya sutradara Darren Aronofsky adalah salah satu karya sinematik paling intens yang pernah dibuat. Di Indonesia, pencarian dengan kata kunci tetap tinggi di kalangan pencinta film terlepas dari usia film yang sudah lebih dari dua dekade.

A lonely widow who becomes obsessed with appearing on a television game show. To fit into her favorite red dress, she begins taking prescription diet pills, unaware they are amphetamines. Her descent into drug-induced psychosis is one of the most harrowing performances ever captured on film.

Meanwhile, Harry, Marion, and Tyrone's plan backfires when their heroin supplier is arrested. Their money is gone, their product is of poor quality, and the need for a fix becomes paramount. The desperation forces Marion into a degrading series of actions to get money, including participating in a disturbing sexual performance.
