Requiem for a Dream [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray] [2 Discs] [2000]

There are a number of scene burned into my memory from Requiem for a Dream on DVD almost 20 years ago and now I get to revisit Darren Aronofsky's highly influential sophomore feature and really soak in the misery without restraints on resolution and color depth. This film follows a group of drug addicts and chronicles their horrendous downfall. While its premise may seem decidedly square, Aronofsky's craft really makes an impact and makes this film worth revisiting. It's never looked or sounded better and the price is right.

Shocking, disturbing, emotional, dramatic, sad, are words to describe this powerful film by Darren Aronofsky about the perils of drug abuse. Ellen Burstyn gives a memorable performance, and should have won the Oscar, in one of her best film roles. Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly and Marlon Wayans add incredible support. Rough going at times, and harrowing, but a must see for anyone interested in serious filmmaking about a devastating topic. Simply brilliant. A MUST SEE!!

In my opinion, this is one of the BEST movies ever made. Saying that, I purchased the 4K UHD version, which I play on a 4K disc player and whenever possible, I’ll only buy discs that contain both the 4K UHD with the Blu Ray disc included. Many Blu Ray players do not play 4K UHD discs , so what I do is keep the 4K disc for myself and pass on the Blu ray version to someone else who wants it. I fully enjoy the 4K disc player as they also “ up-convert “ Blu Ray discs to 4K quality. The picture and sound are phenomenal! I hope this helps.

Requiem For A Dream still packs a powerful, stinging gut-punch some twenty years later with its fresh camera techniques, phenomenal score, and haunting imagery, not to mention the incredible performances by all involved. There's nothing quite like this movie still to this day and its message about any kind of addiction. This new 20th Anniversary 4K UHD release has an amazing new transfer with Dolby Vision and a fantastic new Dolby Atmos audio mix. The brand new bonus features are all worthwhile as well. MUST-OWN!

Requiem is now 20 years from release and that makes me feel super old. However, the PQ for this 4K is quite impressive, owing to the fact that cinematography has a timeless look and feel. From a technical point of view, it's merits are right up there with recent releases, but the content is where most people will have pause. This film holds nothing back while we watch 4 lives circle the drain, either by intention or coincidence. I'm the type who, if I had never seen this movie, would blind buy this just to see what all the fuss is about. Unfortunately, I would suggest only fans pick this up and everyone else to rent it first.

Quite the experience this film is. A visual masterpiece that takes us on a trip to say the least. We find characters battling themselves, addiction, their families, their values and life. Hallucinating scenes that capture the realities of drug abuse and where those devils may take us. Depressing, yes. Exhilarating, without a doubt. Come on, try it. You know you want to. I highly recommend Requiem for a Dream in 4k, for the picture and for the amazing audio soundtrack. Feast your eyes and ears.

Requiem might be my all time favorite movie. Everyone should watch it at least once. It has many valuable lessons. The art and style of the movie is also amazing. Be warned that it does not have a happy ending, if that's something that might deter you. This is definitely a movie to experience in 4k for the ultimate in visuals and audio.

I haven’t checked out the new 4k transfer yet but this movie was a instant day one purchase. Requiem for a Dream is one of my all time favorite films, it’s one of the darkest and most depressing movies ever made but it’s a absolute masterpiece. Darren Aronofsky is a phenomenal filmmaker but till this day his second film remains the best. Look forward to checking out the new transfer and bonus features but this automatically gets a perfect score from me.
