The breakdown of Ellen Burstyn's character in Darren Aronofsky's energetic sophomore effort is emotional and very shocking. It's one of the great performances.

Don't be fooled by the passively poetic title; there's nothing serene or restful about this motion picture. Requiem for a Dream gets under your skin and stays there.
