Best of the Decade

#15

Darren Aronofsky has certainly made a career for himself since coming on the scene in the late 90's. His best work is still probably his mood picture Requiem for a Dream (2000). It is a film that launched a thousand quick cuts while taking pills. It has one of the best scores of all time and an innovative style that marked Aronofsky as an auteur. It may not be an easy watch but it certainly doesn't glorify any drug use. It also marked a tour de force performance from Ellen Burstyn.
